Ranked: Greatest Female Soap Opera Stars Of 2022

Star athletes are often known for having bombshell wives, who are often celebrities in their own right. Not so commonly, the WAGs themselves sometimes pull in more money than their hubbies do! These women are no gold diggers — they’re goal diggers and according to celebritynetworth.com and they’re leveling the playing field with their high earning jock boyfriends and husbands!

13. Vanessa Morgan

Estimated Net Worth: $2 Million. Riverdale actress Vanessa Morgan may be best known for her character Toni Topaz’s on-screen romance with Cheryl Blossom but in real-life her heart is with professional baseball player Michael Kopech. After a July 2019 engagement, the pair were married in early 2020, but Morgan definitely is bringing her own impressive net worth into the marriage. The actress has a reported net worth of $2 million, while Kopech’s is listed as $800 thousand.

12. Chanel Iman

Estimated Net Worth: $8 million. Supermodel Chanel Iman is best known as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and as one of the most prominent models of the 2000’s — and she is getting paid like it!

After becoming engaged in 2017, the pair were married in 2018 and have since welcomed two daughters. While Iman’s estimated net worth has been listed at $8 million, her husband’s has been listed anywhere between $5 million and $8 million.

11. Jennifer Lopez

Estimated Net Worth: $400 Million. When it comes to entertainment industry success, few come anywhere close to what actress, dancer, singer, producer and all-around powerhouse Jennifer Lopez has achieved — that is why she had to meet an athlete for him to come even close. With an incredible estimated net worth of $400 million on her own, Jennifer Lopez’s fiance, baseball legend Alex Rodriguez, comes pretty close with an estimated net worth of $350 million.

Estimated Net Worth: $10 million. The female Australian rapper came to America 10 years ago in the hopes of a career.

In 2015, they became engaged and dramatically split in 2016. While Nick has a rather impressive NBA salary himself, he comes in shy of ex-fiancee Iggy, with a net worth of $8 million.

Astonishing Soap Opera Character Returns Of 2022

9. Kendra Wilkinson

Estimated Net Worth: $6 Million. Kendra Wilkinson is known for her days on the reality show The Girls Next Door, co-starring with ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner. She went onto her own show, Kendra, and later, Kendra On Top. In 2009, she married Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett at the playboy mansion. Kendra has managed to capitalize enough in her reality television endeavors to produce a sweet $6 million net worth. Football player ex-husband, Hank Baskett, who also co-starred in Kendra On Top, not-so-surprisingly brings in less than Kendra (because uhh, she’s on top!) with a net worth of $3.5 million.

8. Shakira

Estimated Net Worth: $300 Million. Colombian born singer and The Voice judge Shakira has sold more than 125 million albums to date. As the highest selling Colombian singer of all time, it’s not shocking that she would make this list. Husband Gerard Piqué, is a Spanish pro football player, currently a centre-back for the Spain National Team, as well as the FC Barcelona. He’s best known for his role in leading the Spanish team to winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup. While Gerard comes in with a whopping net worth of $40 million, it’s a fraction of wife Shakira’s $300 million. Just like her hips, those numbers don’t lie.

6. Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Estimated Net Worth: $16 Million. Elisabeth became a household name as a beloved character in 2002 when she joined the cast of reality survival show, Survivor: The Australian Outback. After the show, she stayed in the spotlight and landed a permanent job on The View as a co-host for 10 years, then later joined Fox & Friends. Elisabeth’s net worth is now $12 million. We bet losing that million dollar prize all those years ago on Survivor doesn’t hurt so much anymore! Elisabeth is married to husband Tim Hasselbeck who is none other than her college sweetheart (yes, they rose to fame and success simultaneously with different career tracks). Tim is a now-retired football quarterback, who now co-hosts on Fantasy Football Now on ESPN.com and ESPN2. Sweetly enough, Tim also has equal net worth to Elisabeth, of $16 million.

1. Jessica Simpson

Estimated Net Worth: $200 Million. Jessica Simpson had a relatively successful acting and music career, but that’s not what gives Jessica Simpson her $150 million net worth.
