Deidre Hall – $12 Million

Can you imagine playing the same character for 40 years? Unbelievably, that’s the story of American actress Deidre Hall. She is famous for her long-running portrayal of Dr. Marlena Evans in the Days of Our Lives soap opera. Deidre had a nomination for 3 Emmys and 1 TV Land Award and won 2 Soapy Awards for Best Actress in 1982 and 1983. Working steadily as an actress on a major network like NBC, Deidre was able to collect a decent amount of paychecks. We don’t know precisely how much she has made after four decades working in Days of Our Lives, but she has a respectable $12 million net worth.
