LEA MICHELE: $12M
Lea Michele, a local New Yorker, was born and raised with visions of musical fame. Michele is making decent use of her $12 million nest egg now that those hopes have been fulfilled. The former Glee star, who first debuted at the age of eight on Broadway, has dedicated time and resources to humanitarian causes such as the Human Rights Movement and Habitat for Humanity. She also upgraded herself to Los Angeles’ luxurious $3-million home. If Lea pays any attention to local news, she may want to update her home insurance as well because a band of robbers calling themselves “the Flockers” targeted homes in her Brentwood community and its vicinity in 2017 and 2018.

MICHAEL PHELPS: $60M
Michael Phelps, a nearly invincible athlete, made history for Olympic gold medals, capturing 23 at the age of just 32. As the recipient of a larger number of medals than 161 countries, Phelps, who retired from competitive swimming in 2016, did so. With hundreds of lucrative sponsorship contracts, he is as much a celebrity money-making machine as he is an athlete. His wealth was estimated at $60 million as of 2019, an amount that enabled the swimmer to move back in comfort in a 6,000-square-foot mansion in Scottsdale, Arizona, his adopted homeland.
