Here’s the thing about celebrities that most of us know to be true – they have more money than we can possibly fathom. In fact, some of their pockets run so deep that they need the help of a financial advisor to keep it all on track. Which is precisely why we gathered a list of some of Hollywood’s richest celebrities – we hope you’re ready for it.
Kelly Ripa – $100 Million
Let’s begin with the one and only, Kelly Ripa, shall we? Not only is Ripa an actress, but she’s also a talk show host, a TV producer, a dancer, a wife to talented Mark Consuelos, and a mother of three. A walking “jack of all trades” if you will. Heck in 2014 The Hollywood Reporter even named Ripa as “one of the Most Powerful People in Media”. Now that’s saying something.

Celine Dion – $630 Million

We all know that the Canadian singer and businesswoman has easily earned that $630 million net worth – thanks to hits like “Because You Loved Me”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, and “My Heart Will Go On”. Although we’re sure that number will only continue to increase.

Tom Cruise – $500 Million
Umm, pardon me here, but I’m about to drop a pun here because Tom cruised his way to the top when he was just 19 years old. Bada Bum. Sorry, not sorry about the pun.

Pamela Anderson
Dr. Phil – $400 Million
