Valerie Bertinelli | Actress | $20 Million

Many of us first met Valerie through the sitcom One Day at A Time where she portrayed the role of Barbara Cooper Royer. She was on the show for 207 episodes, from 1975 to 1984. Aside from the show, however, Bertinelli has had many other TV credits. This includes starring roles in sitcoms Café Americain and Sydney, the fantasy drama, Touched by an Angel, while she also landed several appearances in made-for-TV films. It was in 2010 when she eventually joined the cast of Hot in Cleveland as Melanie Moretti, boosting her popularity and fortune even further as she starred alongside Betty White, Wendie Malick, and Jane Leeves.

Acting might be her main job, but she also has hosted cooking shows Valerie’s Home Cooking and Kids Baking Championship on Food Network since 2015. She has also written two books—this includes her 2008 autobiography, and a follow up the year after.
