1/ 60Dina Merrill – $6,000,000,000
Dina isn’t with us anymore unfortunately. She was a very successful actress – but most of her money was inherited, we must admit. Her extremely rich father died when she was 27 years old and left her with a $250 million fortune. This fortune was equal to $6 billion after adjusting for inflation at the time of her death.
Dina’s film debut was in ‘Desk Set’ in 1957. Two years later she featured in another classic: ‘Operation Petticoat’ (1959). She starred in over 25 movies throughout her career.
