9. Hilary Swank
This Oscar-winning actress grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington. After dropping out of high school she and her mother moved to California and lived wherever they could for a time while her mom did all she could to help her daughter realize her dream. This included countless hours spent calling agents just so Swank could get her foot in the door. She eventually found her calling when she caught her first break in a small role and has received critical acclaim in films such as Boys Don’t Cry where she played the role of a transgendered teen named Brandon Teena, and in Million Dollar Baby where she starred as a boxer. Her extremely strong acting abilities are undoubtable and have earned her two Oscars before the age of 30. This versatile actor is worth $40 million.
