Lauren Bacall & Humphrey Bogart – $55 Million

During her time studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Lauren Bacall also worked as a fashion model. She first rose to fame when she appeared on the cover of magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Today, Lauren takes credit for being one of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema, having starred in films like How to Marry a Millionaire, The Shootist, and How to Marry a Millionaire.

In 1945, Lauren got married to fellow actor Humphrey Bogart. Their relationship lasted until Humphrey’s unfortunate passing in 1957. For all he contributed to the film industry, the actor eventually received the honor of being the greatest male star of classic American cinema. After starring in a few Broadway productions and movies, Humphrey’s portrayal as private detectives in The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep eventually became the go-to persona for subsequent noir movies.
