William Shatner – AGE 90

For more than seven decades, Shatner regularly graces our television screens. Known to his friends and colleagues as Bill Shatner, he became a pop culture icon and rose to a degree of greatness when he played USS Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise. However, taking the said role for too many years also has its disadvantages. Shatner experienced being typecast and had a hard time getting other roles that he almost filed for bankruptcy.

With so little acting prospects and money, he wasn’t sure if he would ever get the chance to return to the big screen again. Fortunately, he managed to redeem himself and received television series, films, stage production projects, and published a series of books. He also managed to win an Emmy Award, a People’s Choice Award, and a Golden Globe Award. Despite his challenging experience in the industry, Shatner still amassed a $150-million net worth.
