But that net worth has now increased to around $40 million, because it's now combined with Prince Harry's net worth.

Let's hope her father gets her the best health insurance available since her career can be quite dangerous.

Another billionaire-model match made in heaven is James Clark and Kristy Hinze. James earned his fortune through work as an entrepreneur and a computer scientist. James was pretty unlucky when it came to women for he had three failed marriages before Kristy. We're 100% certain that Kristy wasn't after his money because she was already well-off on her own through her work as a model. She takes credit for having modeled for Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated. Thanks to her marriage with Clark, she just grew her fortune. Let's just hope their marriage lasts and James doesn't end up with a fifth wife.
Marta Ortega Perez - $57 Billion From Billionaire Father
We wonder how it feels to be the daughter of someone who created such a successful clothing brand. Marta Ortega Perez is the daughter Amancio Ortega Gaona who is a very wealthy name in Spain after having established the retail brand, Zara.

It seems like her net worth will just continue to rise because she is said to have some upcoming movie projects for next year.
Mallory Edens - $2.5 Billion From Billionaire Father
Owning a team that plays in the NBA or NFL means money, money, and more money. For Mallory Edens, her father Wes Edens is one of the owners of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team. When her father chose her as the team's representative at the draft lottery, she became internet-famous. She is still young and has so much ahead of her life but she shouldn't take the luxurious life that her dad gave her for granted. We hope she studies hard in college so she can make a good living in the future. Getting involved in a drug or alcohol addiction will only destroy her future and might make her end up bankrupt.
Madonna - $800 Million From Singing & Business Ventures
Material Girl Madonna is drowning in millions in her bank account for she has had a very fruitful and established career. Making a chart-topper is not easy, but once an artist is successful, he or she may expect so much income coming his/her way. Madonna has remained truly an inspiration to many, and it is so heart-warming that she doesn't just use her million-dollar net worth for herself for she is also known for being active in different charity organizations. She was also able to dive into the world of business by opening two clothing brands and a number of fitness centers.
Jade Foret - $10 Million From Millionaire Husband
Jade Foret should be feeling like she's on top of the world—or the Eiffel tower at least—because her husband Arnaud Lagardere is the richest guy in the whole of France. Jade is a Belgian model who clearly caught Arnaud's attention with her overly good looks. Arnaud made his million dollar fortune through working as Lagardère SCA's Managing and General Partner.

Achieving a $64-million net worth wasn't easy, but she has surely been perfecting her skill to stay relevant. Aside from acting, she also did some work as an author and we're sure she has made a lot of money through it, too. Her first book, The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit, was so successful that it became a New York Times Best Seller.
Ree Drummond - $50 Million From 'The Pioneer Woman' Empire
When you think of writer, blogger, and author turned television personality Ree Drummond, one phrase comes to mind, 'The Pioneer Woman', which is the name of her famous blog. Drummond's blog and TV show title also best describes her, since she started blogging to share her everyday life living in their working cattle ranch and homeschooling her children. Surely the 'Pioneer Woman' didn't realize she would be quite a sensation someday, turning her blog into an empire. Her main sources of income remain her blog (of course), a magazine, best-selling books, a store and BnB in Oklahoma, and a Food Network show - all of these bringing in loads of money for Drummond. It's not surprising that from a simple homemaker, Drummond is now worth a whopping $50 million.
Dasha Alexandrovna Zhukova - $8 Billion From Business & Billionaire Husband
Dasha Alexandrovna Zhukova is a woman who has great talent when it comes to business. She first started out with putting up a fashion label and later becoming an editor-in-chief for fashion magazines like Pop and Garage. It appears that a successful and independent woman like her is hard to please, but billionaire businessman Roman Abramovich doesn't seem to think so as he was able to catch her heart. Even if Roman was unlucky with his past marriages, everything looks perfect so far with him and Dasha. Both of them are wealthy on their own and we must say that their joint net worth leaves them set for life.
Francesca Packer-Barham - $5 Billion
Meg Ryan - $45 Million From Acting
Meg Ryan is another actress who had made it big in Hollywood - thanks to the remarkable roles she had in different films. Most of you might remember her for the roles in movies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail. With all her hard-earned money, she was able to buy herself a very nice and modern real estate property which surely makes her feel like she has the life of a queen. She did not limit her ventures to just acting for she also tried out working as a director - like when she had her directorial debut in the film, Ithaca.
From Billionaire Grandfather
Socialite heiress Francesca Parker-Barham is the oldest grandchild of Kerry Pecker who is a media mogul from Australia. She makes her family proud of her academic achievements for she is currently going to the Sydney University majoring in psychology. She also went to the pricey Inchbald School of Design where she took interior design. When her wealthy grandfather passed away back in 2005, they were able to inherit billions in their bank account. The money that was left was probably used for Francesca's $50K tuition fee at the Inchbald School of Design.
Salma Hayek - $7 Billion From Acting & Billionaire Husband
Salma Hayek started her road to great fortune through making it big in Hollywood with roles in movies like Frida and Wild Wild West. Roles in TV shows like Ugly Betty and 30 Rock also contributed to her rise in popularity. Hollywood life aside, she doesn't really need to worry about loans, mortgage, or any other financial troubles anymore for she is married to French billionaire, Francois- Henri Pinault. Pinault is the CEO of the international luxury group, Kering. Thanks to her acting talent and marriage to her billionaire husband, she can say that she is one of the richest women in the world of Hollywood.
Chryseis Tan - $1.2 Billion From Billionaire Father
When it comes to being low-key about their wealth, Chryseis Tan would be the last on that list since she is known for her opulent lifestyle. She truly knows how to maximize being an heiress to Malaysian businessman/billionaire, Vincent Tan. On her Social Media accounts, you can see her flaunt her travels around the world. She doesn't settle for a commercial plane because she travels the world in her luxurious private jet. You'd always see her sporting the latest luxury fashion pieces since she also has an eye for style. We doubt her lifestyle will ever experience a change because now, she is also engaged to someone who has billionaire parents, too. Let's just hope her father gets her a financial advisor before she forgets the value of money.
