Sophia Loren – Est. $ 80 Million

Classic Hollywood Cinema, characterized by movies produced with ideas from the Renaissance, would not be the same without Sophia Lauren. In fact, she has been named among the most influential and critical figures of that phase in Hollywood. Like several actresses before and after Loren, she started her career in beauty pageants but was enticed to try out acting. Good thing she made that decision because she went on to earn an Academy Award for her performance in the 1961 movie, Two Women.

With a career spanning 70 years, Loren has accumulated wealth worth $80 million. Some estimate it to be as high as $150 million, even. Of course, a good chunk of that amount came from her earrings as an actress, but a significant portion also was from her investment and advertisement deals. Would you believe that Loren is still active despite her advanced age?  Her latest projects were The Life Ahead in 2020 and the documentary What Would Sophia Lauren Do?
