Nehemiah Persoff – 101 years old

Net worth: $4 Million

 

Nehemiah Persoff is one of those people who are perhaps lucky enough to have lived longer lives than most of humanity. The 101-year-old actor starred as Palor Toff in the famous sci-fi television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Throughout his long life, the actor has appeared in more than 200 screen appearances. Like characters in a film, Persoff had also been subject to character development: in his early days of acting, he took up antagonistic roles in classic films such as The Wrong Man, Al Capone, and Some Like It Hot. He eventually got credited for playing mature and gentle roles in films such as Yentl and An American Tail. It is worth noting that Persoff is one of the Star Trek actors who have aged to a hundred. The few Star Trek actors who became a centenarian includes Ellen Albertini Dow, Viola Stimpson, Olaf Pooley, Shep Houghton, Dick Cherney, Norman Lloyd, Marsha Hunt and Ivy Bethune.
