Anne Buydens – Wife of Kirk Douglas
Her Net Worth: $60 Million


Anne Buydens has been known to be the wife of Hollywood icon, Kirk Douglas, but she deserves more credit. She worked as a film publicist back in the day and was not one to succumb to the charms of the actor. In fact, she made Douglas work to earn her trust and her feelings. The moment the actor stopped talking about himself and started listening to her instead was the start of a beautiful and lasting relationship between them.


The pair tied the knot in 1954 and they had two sons, Peter and Eric. Douglas already had two sons from his previous marriage. Though the actor was not as faithful to his wife as she liked him to be, she understood his ways. Even with the ups and downs, the pair was able to weather the storms. She saved his life more than once, which shows how important she was to his life.
