Celebrities Who Were Rich Before They Were Famous

2 Patricia Rooney Mara

Born on April 17, 1985, Patricia Rooney Mara is an American actress, best known for her role as Lisbeth Salander in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’, based on Stieg Larsson’s ‘Millennium’ book series.

Patricia made her acting debut in 2005, and she appeared in films like ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘The Social Network’ and ‘Side Effects’.

Her performance in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ brought the 29-year-old actress an Academy Award for ‘Best Actress’ and a Golden Globe Award for ‘Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama’.

However, the beautiful Patricia comes from a powerful football dynasty. Her paternal great-grandfather, Tim Mara, was the founder of the New York Giants, which Rooney’s family owns and operates to this day.

And that’s not all! Her maternal great-grandfather, Art Rooney Sr., founded the Pittsburgh Steelers, with her great-uncle, Dan Rooney, as the current chairman of the team.

Good job, Julia Louis-Dreyfus! You deserve your fortune!
