Olivia Harrison | Author and Film Producer | $300 Million

Before she achieved success, Olivia Harrison worked as a secretary for A&M Records. This venue is where she met her husband, former member of the popular English rock band Beatles, George Harrison. As a producer, she helped Martin Scorsese put together his documentary chronicling her husband’s life. George Harrison: Living in the Material World proved to be a success and received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special. This project was followed by Concert for George, an investment that certainly helped boost the family’s wealth. In 2017, she also compiled a revised edition of her husband’s autobiography she titled I, Me, Mine, and authored other books to accompany the two successful documentary films.

Of course, she didn’t pocket all of the money she has made from those ventures. Olivia, much like George, is a generous philanthropist. She established The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF, focusing on various programs in Bangladesh.
