Kim Novak – 1957 Cadillac – $13,000

Kim Novak is a retired American television and film actress who started her acting career back in 1954. Within the next couple of years, she closed a deal with Columbia Pictures and starred in multiple movies such as Malibu, The Man with the Golden Arm, Picnic, Vertigo, and Pal Joey. That pretty much secured her finances within the next couple of years. Three years after she started her career and as a fitting reward for all of the effort she put on the table, Kim Novak was able to get her hands on a classic 1957 Cadillac for $13,000.

This was already considered expensive back in the day, but the value of these types of cars have increased to around $100,000. She probably didn’t need a car loan nor was she faced with any lousy credit after purchasing the luxury car. After all, she never became a headline, especially for topics that contain financial hardships or anything related to her finances.
