Doris Day – Net Worth $200 Million

Doris Day was one of the greatest stars of Hollywood in the ’60s and ’70s. She started her profession as a major band vocalist in 1939, making business progress in 1945 with two No. 1 accounts. The late actress and singer retired from acting in 1975. She sang her way through to success, performing with Les Brown & His Band of Renown. She then launched her solo career and released over 650 recordings. Soon after, she appeared in many films.

Although she had immense success in her career, she had financial troubles because of the mismanagement of her funds by her lawyer, Jerome Rosenthal. The back and forth between the two parties almost left her bankrupt. Good thing she found another habit that helped her survive the difficult ordeal. She found happiness in actively promoting animal welfare and even founded a number of non-profit organizations dedicated to pet’s safety and activism.
