ANDY COHEN — $2 MILLION

Before Andy Cohen became the media bigwig that he is now, he was a child who expressed his passion for make-believe play. He used a hairbrush as a microphone and pretended to interview celebrities. After finishing school, he joined CBS as an intern and worked hard to become a news producer and, eventually, a senior producer.

TRIO programming knocked on his door in 2000 and offered him a vice president role, which he accepted and, as expected, excelled in. His accomplishments caught the eyes of Bravo, who entrusted the company’s money management with him, ushering him to a net worth of $15 million.
