BRIGITTE BARDOT | 87

Brigitte Bardot used to dream of being a ballerina star, but she ended up doing acting roles. With the fame she had attained, she never felt any regret for her decision. The 87-year-old actress has more than 40 movie credits to her name. She also tried to build a name in the music and modeling world all at the same time.

With all the work she did when she was young, it was no surprise that she managed to accumulate a $65 million net worth that made her one of the wealthiest female role models of her time. The well-loved superstar retired in 1973 and instead turned her attention to more spirit-fulfilling things. She became active in her advocacy for animal rights and welfare, using her immense degree of influence to further causes and give out donations. If you ask us, she is one true epitome of what it means to be beautiful both inside and out.
