WILLIAM SHATNER | 87

Everyone remembers the classic Star Trek series, but perhaps the most notable character was Captain James T. Kirk, portrayed by none other than William Shatner. After the show ended, he was almost filing for bankruptcy as he went broke, unable to land new roles. All that later changed as he is currently worth around $100 million, and so far, it doesn’t seem like he has made any investments towards a retirement plan yet.

Besides acting, he is also an author with numerous published books and has been married up to four times. Shatner wasn’t only known as an actor. He also became a TV host, most notably on Rescue 911. He then made numerous appearances on other shows, like T.J. Hooker, where he played as a police sergeant. Shatner then ventured into voice acting, lending his voice on the animated TV and video game version of Star Trek, reprising his role as Captain James T. Kirk and on Over The Hedge as Ozzie. Shatner continued to be part of various TV shows.
