Marilyn Monroe

 Marilyn Monroe, an American model, actress, and performer, had an estimated net worth of $800,000. She died in the year 1962. This is approximately $7 million in current dollars after adjusting for inflation. In her time, Marilyn earned a little less than $3 million in film-related salary, and roughly $24 million in taxes before adjusting for inflation. Marilyn Monroe was not a responsible person with money. She spent her money on her friends, family and strangers as well as buying expensive jewellery and clothes for herself. Monroe was #6 on American Film Institute's top 50 female American screen icons. She was also featured on the Smithsonian Institution's "100 Most Significant Americans Of All Time" list. Tragically, Marilyn's story was cut short in the summer of 1962, when she died of a barbiturate overdose at just 36 years old. Although her death was determined to be likely suicide, some believe she was murdered because of the shady circumstances that led to her untimely passing.
