Kathy Ireland, who was scouted at the age of 16, has been on the pages of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Forbes. Between 1985 and 2009, she starred in a number of films and television shows, most notably as Wanda Saknussemm in Alien From L.A. She hasn’t been in any projects since a cameo on Family Guy!, and there’s no indication she will to. She has since grown her brand by participating in various collaborations. One of the most prominent was with Kmart, which marketed a line of socks with Ireland’s name printed on them, allowing her to receive a portion of the money. She has also created a line of bridal gowns and other special occasion clothes. All of her endeavors have made her one of the world’s wealthiest retired models.

Grace Kelly

Net Worth: $40 million*
Year of Retirement: 1956
Where Are They Now: Deceased

Grace Kelly was a favorite of Alfred Hitchcock, appearing in Rear Window with James Stewart, another favorite of Hitchcock’s. Despite the fact that her performance in High Noon was not very well appreciated, she rose to prominence. Her acting career was cut short when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, effectively ending her career. She was only 27 years old when she retired and became Princess of Monaco. Unfortunately, this was not to endure, as Kelly tragically died in a vehicle accident in 1982, while driving with her daughter, Princess Stéphanie, who gratefully survived.
