Monica Lewinsky – $1.5 Million
The political world took an unforeseen turn when news about the 42nd US president, Bill Clinton, being romantically involved with the white house intern, Monica Lewinsky, got around. Well, we wouldn’t argue; the repercussion back then got quite dire, yet Monica managed the menace pretty well. Not to mention she became an international celebrity overnight, which brought in a heap of mixed remarks and an impressive amount of wealth.
Lewinsky steered towards philanthropic pursuits like female rights activism after a brief interlude from her newfound fame and gaining a master’s psychology degree. Besides, she emerged as an established TV face and even launched a luxury handbags business under her name.
Briana Keilar – $8 Million
The veteran journalist Brianna Keilar has forged a successful career in journalism. She began her career as an assistant in production and operations and later went on to host radio shows at ‘KFFM.’ The turning point in her life came when she relocated to New York to hold the position of producer, reporter, and anchor for ‘CBS News.’
Brianna devoted her life to her career, gaining momentum in her early 20s, making her a young news anchor at the age of 23. She has come a long way with her career in journalism, from radio host to senior political correspondent. Her success has bumped her to a weighty net worth of $8 million.
Alexis Ohanian – $40 Million
Alexis Ohanian’s $40 million net worth is fitting for the founder of a well-known social news website and a travel search website. The internet entrepreneur and investor saw a niche and wasted zero time sitting on it. He now dances to the bank while also offering an invaluable solution to a lot of individuals.
What’s even more mind-blowing is that his company is worth billions of dollars now. We can’t help but imagine how harder Ohanian would be dancing if he didn’t sell it in 2006 for a reported $10 million. Good thing he set up other investment companies like ‘Initialized Capital,’ which he also sold and now heads ‘Seven Seven Six.’ Teach us your ways, boss!
