Clarissa Dickson Wright – $29 Million

Clarissa Dickson Wright was pretty famous to UK audiences as one of the cookery pair The Two Fat Ladies. When her mother – a rich London lawyer – died in 1975, Wright received $3.7 million – which was the same as approximately $29 million in today’s money.

Sadly, Wright’s father died only a few months later, which caused her to turn to alcohol to treat her depression. Her excessive spending habits determined that by 1980, the substantial fortune had been spent. Wright died in 2014 with a large unpaid tax bill.
