BRIGITTE BARDOT | 87

The Brigitte initially dreamed of becoming a ballerina, but later opted for a career in acting. A decision she has not had cause to regret. Bardot has been featured in over 40 movies, including And God Created Woman and Viva Maria which landed her a prestigious BAFTA Award nomination for Best Foreign Actress. The French actress also started building her music brand and modeling at the same time.

It is no wonder that she is one of the wealthiest female models of her time, with a fortune of $65 million to her name. Brigitte is no longer as active in both small and big screens, having retired from the entertainment industry back in 1973. However, she remains active and still makes an impact by being an activist for animal rights. It is safe to assume that she has secured comfort for the rest of her years with a good insurance plan.
