BRIGITTE BARDOT – 84

Brigitte Bardot is a former singer, actress, and now a known animal rights activist. Many of her fans and peers once considered her to be Sophia Loren’s biggest rival in the entertainment scene. Throughout her career, her name was included in over 40 movie credits along with some modeling gigs, but her career peaked during the ’50s and ’60s. She was even called the most liberated woman of post-war France. Bardot hasn’t been active lately on-screen. She does have time to fight for animal rights.

Since retiring back in the 70s, she worked to help protect and shelter all kinds of animals globally. Bardot retired in the early ’70s, where she coined her retirement as “a way to get out elegantly.” Her net worth is $65 million, and she is willing to invest in animal welfare. She would go to lengths as writing to the Queen of Denmark to lobby the cessation of the killing of dolphins.
