SHIRLEY JONES | 89, $25 MILLION

The ’50s had been good to several personalities in show business, and one of the receiving ends of this streak of luck was Shirley Jones. Her career started during this era, and she made the most out of it and gave her best in films such as Oklahoma! and Carousel. She rode her wave of success that carried her through the ’60s and ’70s.She starred in Shirley Partridge in the musical situation-comedy TV series The Partridge Family, co-starring David Cassidy, the son of her real-life stepson Jack Cassidy.

At the same time, she even brought home an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Elmer Gantry. Jones surely made a lot of fortune and built up an outstanding credit score during her acting run. In early 2008, it was reported that Jones would play Colleen Brady on NBC’s soap opera Days of Our Lives. Jones guest-starred as David and Patrick’s mother on ABC Family’s short play Ruby & The Rockits.
