Blake Lively | $30 Million

Blake Lively was already successful before her teenage days were over. While most child celebrities were cast in commercials when they launched their careers, Lively’s debut was rather grand, and she was a star in an instant. Her first credits were in the film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, which became a blockbuster hit. Subsequently, she was cast as Serena in the teen drama series Gossip Girl and eventually became a household name.

Despite her early success, Lively had already been familiar with the machinery of show business: her father worked as an actor and director while her mother was a talent scout. It’s safe to say that she somehow had passively acquired knowledge from them. After starring in the aforementioned TV series, Lively returned to the big screen and starred in movies such as The Town, Green Lantern, and Age of Adaline.
