John Gotti
|
|
It's hard to figure out why John 'The Dapper Don' Gotti also managed to obtain the moniker 'The Teflon Don.' Only one time out of many others did he manage to escape justice with an acquittal verdict. During his early days, he spent so much time going in and out of the poky that he could have been called 'The Turnstile Don.'

Gisele Bundchen
|
|
Some people just don't see what the bid deal is with Gisele Bündchen. Just because the Brazilian model has legs up to her neck and wears lingerie as if it weren't there (daily), there are those who pooh pooh her anointment as a supermodel. Those same people have not been thoroughly evaluated for psychological problems either because Gisele must have traded her soul in for those fine, um, looks. Her modeling career, endorsements and brand have jettisoned her net worth to $$$.

Nicholas Cage
|
|
With an uncle like Francis Ford Coppola and a literature professor father and a choreographer for a mother, Nicholas Cage grew up with the genes to do all the quirky leading man movie roles that continue to present themselves to him. As his uncle helped launch his career with an appearance in a filmed called Rumble Fish, Cage took over and cut his own path to stardom. With some hiccups along the way, Cage has managed to level out his net worth at $$$.

William Hearst
|
|
Mark Twain and Jack London use to call him boss. At the turn of the 20th Century, William Randolf Hearst was set on making his mark through print journalism and the advent of mass production. Hearst took advantage of his privileged upbring and took the reigns of the San Francisco Chronicle to a place where he owned, operated and managed more that 30 large daily newspapers in large cities around the United States at great expense.

Toby Keith
|
|
Noboby can say that Toby Keith Covel got stuck being lazy. The country music singer-songwriter has been cranking out albums during his 20 years in the business like an automatic press. In each case, the commercial success has grown exponentially and 'Toby Keith' has extended his activity into record producing and acting.

Kelly Clarkson
|
|
Not only does Kelly Clarkson represent the American Idol as its inaugural winner, she takes the cake when it comes to selling the most albums than any of the other annual Idol winners have during their careers. Since her breakout performances on the initial American Idol 2002 competition, she has averaged more than two millions records sold a year to eager buyers. That's more than 21 million of them.
