Barbra Streisand
Net Worth: $53 million*
Year of Retirement: 2000
Where Are They Now: Returned to music
Few Broadway performances are more legendary than Barbra Streisand’s portrayal of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. Streisand’s performance gained her accolades in both the music and acting worlds, which she has dominated for the past 60 years. Streisand announced her retirement from stage performing in 2000, but she still performs music and makes occasional acting appearances. Streisand continues to record albums but hasn’t appeared on stage or in films since 2012, when she co-starred in The Guilt Trip with Seth Rogen. After a five-year break from performing, she resumed touring and has done so three times as of 2017. There was discussion of her acting in a biopic of Catherine the Great in 2015, but no details have been released.

Linda Ronstadt
Net Worth: $130 million*
Year of Retirement: 2011
Where Are They Now: Spending time with family
Although Linda Ronstadt is most known for her music, she also has a background in acting. She has appeared in numerous projects, both as herself and as characters, including The Muppet Show and Saturday Night Live. She was nominated for a Tony and a Golden Globe for her role as Mabel Stanley in The Pirates of Penzance. Her acting and singing careers have both had to take a back seat in recent years due to a decrease in her health. She declared her retirement from the stage and screen in 2011, then two years later stated that she’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and, as a result, couldn’t sing anymore. Later, she was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy.
