Leslie Caron – 89 years old

Net worth: $10 Million

 

Born in the midst of Nazi occupation in France, Leslie Claire Margaret Caron, commonly known as Leslie Caron, has made quite a fortune for herself. Before she became a teenager, her mother had influenced her to be a ballet dancer. A few years later, she was already performing on the Ballets des Champs Elysee when her prowess caught Gene Kelly’s attention. The man from Hollywood would eventually cast her in one of his phenomenal films, An American in Paris, which was released back in 1951.

Caron’s appearance in Hollywood films eventually proliferated; her skills in ballet and her womanly persona are to be credited. She starred in Daddy Long Legs dancing with Fred Astair and became Cinderella in The Glass Slipper. She has also stepped back from musicals and starred in films that did not require her to dance such as Lili and The L-Shaped Room where she has been nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
