She immigrated with her family to the U.S. in the ’40s from Czechoslovakia. Her father was the late Czech-American diplomat Joseph Korbel. Forbes included her in their inaugural “50 Over 50” list in 2021.

Her bibliography includes Madam Secretary, a memoir published in 2003. In 2018 she released Fascism: A Warning. Albright’s name has been tied to numerous controversies, including the criticism she faced in 2010 for promoting the multi-level marketing dietary company Herbalife.

Jared Leto – $90 million

Jared Leto is slated to share the screen with Anne Hathaway in the upcoming 2021 Apple+ miniseries WeCrashed. His career took off when he appeared in My So-Called Life in 1994, and the next year, he made his big-screen debut. However, it’s films like Requiem for a Dream and the Dallas Buyers Club that further raised his profile.

A vegan, he supported the 2008 California Proposition 2 outlining the proper standards of care for farm animals. Leto raised money against the 2009 California Proposition 8 initiated by opponents of same-gender marriage. He also supported Barack Obama’s past presidential bids.

Ron Howard – $200 million

Ron Howard joined the industry as a child actor with guest roles in numerous TV shows, including The Twilight Zone. The Andy Griffith Show earned him more fame, while Happy Days cemented his place in showbiz. The ’80s saw him shift gears and start working behind the scenes directing critically acclaimed films like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind.

In 2020, his Netflix drama Hillbilly Elegy elicited criticism for its perceived underlying political theme. Howard responded by saying that critics were reviewing the film from a political standpoint while, in fact, it wasn’t really reflected or highlighted in the story.

Blake Shelton – $100 million

Body Language is Blake Shelton’s latest album, released in May 2021. It had been more than four years since he dropped an album, but some fans weren’t all too keen about the single “Minimum Wage.” Shelton told CMT that the song is just a love song and the critics were folks who probably didn’t understand much about country music or hadn’t listened to the entire song.

Since he broke into the scene, Shelton has earned seven Grammy nominations. These days he’s best known for his time on The Voice as part of the musical competition’s panel of judges. Shelton also operates the Ole Red franchise of eateries and entertainment outfits.
