From this photo to fame: she became the richest actress globally

The actress herself serves on the board of the Melanoma Research Alliance, the largest nonprofit funding research into the disease. Her involvement reflects a commitment not only to wealth but also to impact and legacy.

Contrary to common assumptions, her fortune is not merely a product of her husband’s success. Reports consistently note that she earned significantly more than he did when they met.

“Everyone thinks I married a rich guy,” she once said. “But I made more money—way more money—than Tony when I met him. I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him.”
