Cassandra Peterson, 67 – $3 Million
Cassandra Peterson found herself an interesting character which would make her famous. She is well known for portraying the Mistress of the Dark (a.k.a. Elvira), who is a horror hostess.
Cassandra became famous for being seen on KHJ-TV, a TV station in Los Angeles, hosting the thriller film presentation, Elvira’s Movie Macabre, each week. She has black hair and wears a black, goth, flowing dress that doesn’t conceal much. She looks totally like an emotionally cold vampire but it’s belied by a humorous persona, and an unorthodox wit, plus her Valley-girl accent. Cassandra hosted Storage Wars’ Halloween Special in 2018 as Elvira.
