10. Drew Barrymore - $125 Million

Drew Barrymore’s journey from child star to successful entrepreneur and beloved television personality is one of Hollywood’s most inspiring success stories. Her career began with her breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial* in the 1980s, which catapulted her to fame at a young age. Despite the challenges often associated with early stardom—including well-documented personal struggles—Barrymore skillfully navigated her transition from child actor to respected adult performer.

Her ability to remain relevant while expanding her influence across multiple industries has solidified her status as both a successful entrepreneur and a cultural icon.
