Mary Berry, 86, $18.7 Million

The reported wealth of Mary Berry is a very conservative estimate at $18.7 million considering that she had considerable money even before setting foot in showbusiness. Her sharp business acumen enabled her to build a fortune in selling condiments and cookbooks. Thus her entry into the world of BBC and Thames Television is just icing on the cake that she had baked herself.

Mary should and could kick back and enjoy the fruits of her labor at her age. However, the celebrity slash businesswoman is still growing her money in the property market. The gutsy octogenarian has found a way to keep busy – by making money!
