2Mikhail Baryshnikov – $45 Million
I can’t help but to start introducing him as the one that played Carrie Bradshaw’s Russian lover in the last season of Sex and The City. Yes, he was Aleksandr Petrovsky.
He is a Russian-American dancer, choreographer, actor and has often been called one of the greatest ballet dancers in history.
Just like Rudolf Nureyev did, he also left Russia and came in Canada thinking that he has more opportunities in western dance.
The fact that he is promoting modern dance, is a respected choreographer and a good actor has made him the most widely recognized contemporary ballet dancer.
His important role in the ballet world has brought him a $45 million net worth.
