Audrey Hepburn's Net Worth as of 2024
$100 Million

Audrey Kathleen van Heemstra Ruston was born on 4 May 1929, in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium, of Austrian and British descent. Audrey was an actress and icon in the fashion world, best known to be one of the legendary female actresses during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She appeared many successful films including “Roman Holiday”, “Sabrina”, and “My Fair Lady”. All of her efforts helped put her net worth to where it was prior to her passing in 1993.

How rich was Audrey Hepburn? As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth that was at $100,000, mostly earned through a successful career in acting. She appeared in numerous films and won various awards for several performances. Many argue that her net worth would’ve been higher, but later in life she dedicated most of her time to charity work. All of these lead to the eventual position of her wealth.

During World War II, Hepburn attended Arnhem Conservatory, as she was moved to the Netherlands to avoid German attacks. She also took ballet lessons, and after Germany invaded the Netherlands she adopted the name Edda van Hemstra, and became part of the Dutch resistance, delivering packages and messages.

After the war, Audrey moved to Amsterdam to continue her ballet training. She made her film debut in 1948 and it was entitled “Dutch in Seven Lessons”. She also worked part time as a model, and did a few other jobs for financial support. She then became a chorus girl and participated in various productions such as “High Button Shoes”. Minor roles in films such as “The Lavender Hill Mob” and “One Wild Oat” followed, and her first major role came in 1952 in the film “The Secret People”, in which she played a ballerina. She was then cast for the title role in the Broadway play “Gigi”, which earned her a lot of critical praise, and a boost to her net worth. She would start gaining popularity, and did a total of 219 performances during the run of “Gigi” during a tour around the United States.

She then starred in the film “Roman Holiday”, which became a big success and won her an Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as a BAFTA and Golden Globe Award for her performance. She was given film contracts that coincided with her various stage performances, and soon she would appear in the comedy “Sabrina”. She continued racking in nominations and even won a Tony Award for “Ondine”, and for the remainder of the decade, she continued making highly successful films including “War and Peace”, “Funny Face” and “The Nun’s Story”. She then starred in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, which earned her another Academy Award nomination, and then in “Charade” opposite Cary Grant, and “Paris When it Sizzles”. Hepburn went on and continued making films until the late 1960s.

In 1967, Hepburn started to devote more time to her family and would make fewer films. Her last motion picture came in 1998’s “Always” and she would also focus more of her time to UNICEF. Meantime, she had developed a fabricated rivalry with British singing actress Julie Andrews, that was further exaggerated by the press, but was probably good publicity.

For her personal life, she was engaged to James Hanson but called off the marriage apparently because of the demands of her work. She then met actor Mel Ferrer and they were married in September 1954. During their marriage, Audrey had two miscarriages allegedly because of work, so on her third pregnancy, took time off from acting to give birth to their son. After fourteen years of marriage they divorced, and she then met psychiatrist Andrea Dotti. They had a child and their marriage lasted thirteen years despite both of them supposedly becoming unfaithful. She then had a relationship with Robert Wolders and they remained together until her death; although they never formally married, Hepburn considered them to be wed. In 1992, Hepburn was diagnosed with a rare form of abdominal cancer and she underwent surgery for it. She also began chemotherapy but later tests showed that the sickness had spread too far to be operable. She died in 1993 while sleeping in her home.

Have you ever wondered how rich Aarti Mann is, as of early 2018? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Mann’s net worth is as high as $400,000, an amount earned through her successful career, active since the mid- 2000s.

Aarti Mann Net Worth $400,000

Of Indian ancestry, Aarti alongside her brother Nishad, and sister Kruti moved a lot within Pennsylvania with her family when she was still a toddler, including living in Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon, Wexford and Fox Chapel. She went to Shady Side Academy located in Point Breeze, and after matriculation enrolled at New York University, from which she earned a degree in film writing and directing.

Aarti made her professional acting debut in 2006, in the film “The Memsahib”, directed by her sister Kruti, who is a filmmaker, who was mainly responsible for luring Aarti towards the performing arts, since their parents are doctors and wanted all their children to follow in their footsteps. After her debut, Aarti appeared in a commercial for Volvo, and started auditioning for new film and television roles. However, she secured only minor roles in such TV series as “Quarterlife” (2008), and “Heroes” (2009), until in 2010 luck smiled upon her as she was chosen for the part of Priya Koothrappali in the TV comedy series “The Big Bang Theory” (2010-2011), which increased her net worth to a large degree. Her career now got underway, and in 2012 she featured in the comedy-drama film “The Monogamy Experiment”, starring Amy Rider, Edgar Morais and Tohory Masamune, while in 2015 she made a notable appearance in the romantic comedy film “I’ll See You in My Dreams”, with Blythe Danner, Martin Starr and Sam Elliott in the lead roles, which further increased her net worth.

She is now working on the drama film “Love Sonia”, starring Demi Moore, Freida Pinto and Mark Duplass, scheduled for release later this year, so her net worth is certainly still rising.

When it comes to her personal life, Aarti is married to Purvesh Mankad, with whom she has a daughter. She now resides in Los Angeles with her family.

Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.

So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million

Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.

However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.

Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.

As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.

As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.

Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
