Meryl Streep

So, it looks like Meryl Streep has always been a queen! Still years away from stardom, here she is in her teens in the ‘60s. The Mamma Mia actress then went on to attend Vassar and later Yale University, where she studied drama.

What she learned in school likely gave her an edge as she pursued a film career in the ‘70s. Fast forward to today, and the Sophie’s Choice star is among the most acclaimed actresses in Hollywood. We reckon she’s one of the wealthiest, too, with an estimated fortune of $160 million. We’ll see her next in the 2021 film Don’t Look Up.
