Cassandra Peterson, 68 – ~ $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.
Elvira’s trademarks were black hair and black goth style of clothing. 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.
