JAMES LIPTON – 93

Most students would opt for a student loan, but James Lipton instead pursued acting to fund his studies. He helped produce some of the most popular soap operas in Hollywood, like Another World, Capitol, Return to Peyton Place, and The Edge of Night. He also worked as both an actor and a writer for over ten years on Guiding Light, the longest-running television drama in American television. Besides his television skills, he was also a certified pilot with over 1,000 hours of flight time as of 2013.

Now that is a new route to reach the top of Hollywood! James Lipton was a man of many characters. He has faced a struggle once with his former wife, for which hiring a lawyer is inevitable. He had a large sum of net worth amassed from his being an actor, writer, teacher, producer, lyricist, and host. Sadly, the actor passed away recently due to cancer.
