Nora Aunor Net Worth $20 Million
Born in Iriga, Camarines Sur, Aunor is the daughter of Antonia Cabaltera and Eustacio Villamayor; with nine siblings she grew up in the provinces of the Philippines. She studied at Mabini Memorial College and Nichols Air Base Elementary School.
Aunor’s claim to fame started when she won the singing competition “Tawag ng Tanghalan” in 1967, which led to guest appearances in various musical variety shows including “An Evening with Pilita” and “Carmen on Camera”. Soon, then famed Sampaguita Pictures signed Aunor to a non-exclusive contract with the company, to launch her acting career. Some of her earlier projects consisted of teeny-bopper supporting roles including “All Over World” and “Way Out of the Country”. Her early years in showbiz still helped setup her career and also her net worth.
During the late ‘60s to early ‘70s, Aunor’s career started to make traction when she and actor Tirso Cruz III became an iconic tandem, appearing in several teen movies and becoming known as “Guy and Pip.” It was also during this time that Aunor’s TV show “The Nora Aunor Show” took-off in 1971, and ran until 1989.
Meantime, in 1973 Aunor created her own production company NV Productions, and it was also the time that she started to dive into heavier roles. Some of her movies in the ‘70s that gained her multiple Best Actress nominations included “Fe, Esperanza, Caridad”, “Banaue: Stairway to the Sky” and “Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos” in which she won the first ever Gawan Urian Award.
Other notable films in which Aunor appeared in the ‘70s include “Minsa’y isang Gamu-gamo”, “Atsay” – winning the only Best Performer Award in the history of Metro Manila Film Festival – and “Ina ka ng Anak Mo”. Her rising career as a dramatic actress catapulted her to new heights and tremendously increased her wealth.
When the ‘80s started, Aunor’s career continued to thrive. Some of her most memorable performance during the decade includes “Bona” – a film now archived at The Museum of Modern Art in New York – and the remarkable film “T-Bird at Ako”, with rival star Vilma Santos, which they played lesbian lovers.
Probably the most iconic film of Aunor’s career is 1982’s “Himala” – in the film she played a young girl who has claimed to see the Virgin Mary, and becomes a saint and faith healer in her small town. The film won numerous local and international awards including the Berlin International Film Festival, the 19th Chicago Film Festival, and CNN APSA Viewer’s Choice Award in 2008.
Upon the ‘90s, Aunor’s career started to slow down, but she still managed to create award-winning films; for “Andrea, Paano Ba ang Maging Isang Ina”, she won all five Best Actress awards in all the award-giving bodies in the Philippines, and in 1994, her film “Flor Contemplacion” earned her first international best actress award at the Cairo International Film Festival.
Aunor’s career then slowed down considerably – after filming “Naglalayag” in 2004, she went on an 8-year hiatus, and settled in the United States.
However, Aunor is still active as an actress, and some of her most recent projects include “El Presidente”, “Thy Womb”, “Hustisya” and “Dementia”. Her success in the Philippine film industry has garnered her the nickname “Superstar”, as well as tremendously increasing her net worth over the years.
In terms of her personal life, Aunor was married to fellow actor Christopher de Leon from 1975 to 1996. They have one son and four other adopted children. She is believed to have been officially single since then.

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 did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. 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.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
