Minnie has an English mother and a father who had Scottish origins. Her parents were never married and they eventually separated when she was six years old. Minnie went to Bedales School in Hampshire and when her father moved to Barbados, she spent her holidays with him, so she was partly raised there. Thanks to her mother’s support and encouragement, Minnie enrolled in the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where she acquired her first acting skills, receiving a drama degree in 1991. Upon graduation, she went after a career on television, appearing in British dramas such as “God on the Rocks” (1991), “Mr. Wroe’s Virgins” (1993) and “The Politician’s Wife” (1995).
In the initial years of her career, Minnie also often performed as a jazz vocalist and guitarist to increase her income. Her film debut was in “Circle of Friends” (1995) in the role of a baggy Irish student, for which she had to gain 25 pounds. Her performance received recognition but she wanted to seek more unconventional roles, and decided to go for the American film industry. Soon after she secured roles in the James Bond film “Goldeneye”(1995), and “Sleepers”(1996), in which she played alongside Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman, and which took Minnie’s career to a new level. However, her true breakthrough was definitely her role in the well renowned film “Good Will Hunting” (1997), with Robin Williams, with which she made a name for herself in Hollywood, and which brought her nominations for Academy Award and Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress as well as Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor. Driver also won the London Film Critics’ Circle Award for British Supporting Actress of the Year, all significantly adding to the actress’ net worth.
Some of her other significant roles include the films “Hard Rain” (1998), co-starring Morgan Freeman, “The Governess” (1998) and “An Ideal Husband” (1999), co-starring Julianne Moore, Rupert Everett and Cate Blanchett. In March 2007 Driver returned to television by starring in the American television series “The Riches”, and for this role she was nominated for an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award as Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2007 and 2008. Apart from this, Minnie starred in the television series “The Deep” (2010) and also had a notable appearance in the comedy-drama film “Conviction”, winning a Genie Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Minnie Driver’s music career has also been a significant source of income, increasing her net worth. She began making music at a young age and was a part of Milo Roth Band which had a recording contract when Minnie was 19. After signing with EMI and Rounder Records in 2001, she released three albums and co-operated with big names such as Neil Young, The Killers and Elliott Smith.
In her personal life, Minnie dated her colleague Matt Damon 1998 and in 2001 she was engaged to Josh Brolin. However, Driver has never married, but in 2008 she gave birth to a son from her short relationship with TV producer Timothy J. Lea.

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.

She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
