BRIGITTE BARDOT | 87

The French personality, Brigitte Bardot, was known back then as the closest rival of Sophia Loren in the entertainment scene. Both of them had the looks and talent to achieve a lot. Bardot is a leading figure from the 50s until the early-70s and she expanded her influence in the music scene during the latter part of her career.

In 1973, Bardot retired from the entertainment industry. When she was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1985, she refused to accept it. During the 2000s, she spawned controversy by condemning immigration and Islam in France, which caused her to be fined five times for inciting racial hatred. Aside from working as a model, actress, and singer, she’s also an animal-rights advocate. By the looks of things, she doesn’t need any personal loans just to fund her endeavors and she could probably back it up by herself, thanks to her $65 million net worth.
