Mayim Bialik – Net Worth: $25 million

Did you know that Mayim Bialik is a real-life neuroscientist and author? She played the girlfriend of Sheldon Cooper, Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, on The Big Bang Theory. The brainy celebrity also minored in Jewish and Hebrew studies, making her a very talented actress. Mayim initially wanted to be a doctor, but she claimed she did not have the grades needed to get to medical school. She was a child actress who appeared on Pumpkinhead back in 1988. Down the line, all it took was ten lines of dialog for her to win her Screen Actors Guild in Beauty and the Beast.

Mayim appreciated that the TBBT was a space where intellect was showcased. She reveals that she has still been talking with some of her previous co-stars. In fact, Mayim and Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon, were working on a TV series Call Me Kat. Lasting friendship is indeed a good investment, especially in Hollywood.
