9. Michelle Obama – Net worth $11.8 million
The First Lady of the United States is also an accomplished lawyer, receiving her Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1988.
Obama has been open about the fact that she endured a lot of self doubt when she first began studying law, unused to a campus environment and coming from a modest financial background. She earned her qualifications though and went on to work with the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, representing low-income people in housing disputes.
Michelle met Barack, a fellow lawyer, when she was assigned to mentor him. Arguably, she still does.
