Richard Simmons – 71-Years-Old, $15 Million Net Worth

When Richard Simmons first appeared on the fitness scene in the late 70s, the flamboyant, energetic gym-owner quickly became a national sensation. Apparently, people fell in love with his positive attitude and, of course, fun workouts! Before long, Simmons began appearing on shows like the Late Show with David Letterman, while his Sweatin’ to the Oldies aerobics tapes became bestsellers!

In the early 2000s, Simmons decided to focus his energy on becoming a political advocate for physical fitness in school. Then, in 2004, after a long-running entertainment and fitness career, he finally retired. Nowadays, Simmons prefers life away from the spotlight. Of course, with a net worth of $15 million, he can do pretty much whatever he wants!

Frankie Avalon – 80-Years-Old, $30 Million Net Worth

In the ’50s and ’60s, teen idols started to take over pop music from the swing bands. One of the singers that helped was Frankie Avalon, who released smooth sounding hits like “Venus” and “Why.” Both became number ones and propelled Avalon to fame. Not long after, he made the jump to movies starring in shows like Rawhide and plenty of beach party movies.

In the ’80s and ’90s, Avalon saw his career diminish, though he still toured to small venues and continues to do so today. Most recently, he also ventured into authorship, publishing the cookbook Frankie Avalon’s Italian Family Cookbook.
