Betty White – 96

Betty White could take the cake as the most vibrant actresses in Hollywood. She’s been acting practically her entire life – since 1939. Her journey as a writer and director played a significant role in the improvement of women’s status in Hollywood. A comedic air ensured her role after role, and she continues her acting career in a number of TV shows and films. She’s earned a $75-million net worth for her to enjoy. Sadly, her love life hasn’t been as successful, as her first two marriages led to a divorce, while in 1963 she tied the knot to Allen Ludden, who then passed away in 1981.
