Vera Lynn – 102
Unlike most other celebrities on the list, Vera started out as a singer for troops in World War II. In her words, she felt that this was the only way she could support the soldiers. After the war, she took her career to the next step by taking roles on television and on the radio. Then she received global recognition and earned her a net worth of $ 20 million. Vera stopped playing at 101, but she is heavily involved in nonprofits. Funny fact, she is also an official lady of the UK!
