32. Beyoncé Knowles - $500m

To her adoring fans, she's just "Irreplaceable". She doesn't have to worry about how to pay those "Bills, Bills, Bills", because with half a billion in the bank they take care of themselves. Beyoncé Knowles is one of the biggest stars of the past two decades, period.

A crossover star, who was always the standout member of Destiny's Child due to her powerful voice and incredible looks, Knowles has been successful in everything she's done from singing to acting to fashion design. Her marriage to rapper Jay-Z has made them the celebrity power couple of the 21st Century, and as she proved with her most recent release 'Lemonade', when she releases an album it becomes a global happening. Frequently rated as the sexiest woman alive, and a role model to little girls everywhere, Knowles considers herself a 'modern day feminist', and many of her songs have been considered female empowerment anthems.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
