Carole Cook, 97 – $15 Million

Believe it or not, the 97-year-old American acting legend Carole Cook is still up for a new gig. She’s never retired from show business, even though she hasn’t been on camera since 2018. Earlier this year, though, she appeared in the documentary Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age. Speaking of which, Cook was never afraid to go beyond her comfort zone. She transitioned effortlessly between theater, TV, and film, always without losing a bit of her timeless class. With over 60 acting credits, she’s perhaps best known for her roles in Sixteen Candles and Knight Rider.
