VICTORIA PRINCIPAL – $350 MILLION

Victoria Principal got her start in the entertainment world, appearing in several advertisements. She had no intention of having a profession in acting at first. However, after a major vehicle accident while in college, she pursued acting full-time. Principal subsequently relocated to Los Angeles to continue her career.

Her first notable film credit was in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, which led to many other high-profile roles.

Despite her success, she retired from acting in the mid-‘70s to concentrate on her profession as an agent. In 1997, Aaron Spelling asked her to appear in the pilot episode of Fantasy Island. As a result of her performance, her portrayal of Pamela Barnes Ewing in Dallas made her a household name. She also founded Principal Skin, a successful skin-care company that has generated over $1 billion in revenue since its debut.
