Robert Clary – 95 years old

Net worth: $3 Million

Nothing is as compelling as the story of someone who has gone through a lot of suffering but has managed to pick the pieces of oneself and turn them into something other than suffering, but into something beautiful. This best describes the story of Robert Clary. Before Clary played Corporal Louis Lebeau in Hogan’s Heroes, he was one of the Jews in the holocaust who were faced with life’s most dreadful experiences.

The actor and singer bravely survived three years in World War II concentration camps during his teenage years. In Hogan’s Heroes, the scenes revolved around a German “stalag,” which held prisoners of war. Despite the degree of experiences the actor went through, he did not have any misgivings regarding the show. He maintained close relationships with two other actors from the show: Klemperer and Banner, who, like him, have gone through the same experience during the second World War.
