CYNTHIA NIXON – EST. $30 MILLION

From actress to a politician—who would’ve thought Cynthia would consider making quite the big leap! She may have lost to Andrew Cuomo, but we have to give the actress credit for stepping up when it came to the causes she supports, including renewable energy, LGBTQ rights, income equality, and universal healthcare, among others. She has since returned to her acting roots and has a couple of TV projects set to air, including The Gilded Age and Ratched.

Other titles she’s worked on over the years include A Quiet Passion, James White, Warm Springs, Too Big to Fail, and Sex and the City and its follow-up films. For her role in the TV series as Miranda Hobbes, Cynthia won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Well, if she decides to take a longer break from TV, however, her $60 million net worth will ensure she lives comfortably with her partner, Christine Marinoni.
