Molly Ringwald Net Worth $11 Million
Molly Ringwald was born to a blind jazz pianist-father, Bob Ringwald, and mother Adele – a chef. She has always been passionate about acting, which resulted in her first role when she was only five, appearing in a play of “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, and not much later recording her first album entitled “I Wanna Be Loved by You” with her father’s band. Ringwald’s career began expanding, and at the age of ten she made appearances in “The New Mickey Mouse Club”, and had roles in such television series as “Facts of Life” with Charlotte Rae and “Different Strokes” with Conrad Bain and Gary Coleman. Her net worth was already well set.
Before her major breakthrough in acting, Molly Ringwald had not only performed some of her more memorable roles, but had started a successful singing career; in 1980, she was featured on two Disney albums as a lead vocalist. Around the time, Ringwald was already on the path to increasing her public recognition, as well as her net worth. Molly Ringwald’s real emergence came when she joined a cast of Emilio Estevez, Paul Gleason and Judd Nelson to star in a coming-of-age film directed by John Hughes “The Breakfast Club”. The movie that had an initial budget of only $1 million turned out to be a box office success with over $51 million grossed worldwide, was considered to be one of the best movies of 1985, and was awarded a Silver Bucket of Excellence and featured on the list of the Best 1000 Movies Ever compiled by The New York Times Magazine.
Following the immense success of Hughes’ film, Molly Ringwald starred in yet another romantic movie directed by John Hughes entitled “Pretty in Pink”, co-starring with Harry Dean Stanton and Annie Potts which became an instant hit, grossing over $41 million worldwide. As she began to mature as an actress, Molly Ringwald desired to turn away from teen roles, and instead tried to portray older characters, the first of which is considered to be in the romantic comedy starring Robert Downey Jr. “The Pick-Up Artist”. Ringwald continued her successful movie appearances with “Strike It Rich” and “Fresh Horses”, steadily improving her net worth.
Even though Molly’s commercial success has declined over the years, she is still considered to be one of the best and most inspirational teenage stars of all time. Her roles in John Hughes’ movies earned her a cult following and a spot on Time’s list of Top 10 Teen Idols. A famous actress, dancer and a singer with an estimated net worth of $11 million, Molly Ringwald has been a recipient and a nominee of such awards as Golden Globe Awards, Young Artist Awards, as well as MTV Movie Awards.
In her personal life, Molly was married to Valery Lameignère (1999-2002), and has been married to Panio Gianopoulos, a Greek-American writer and book editor, since 2007; they have a daughter and twins, one of each.

However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).

Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
