BARBARA WALTERS VS JUNE SQUIBB (born in 1929)

BARBARA WALTERS – $175 Million

It is a considerable success to have lived long and reached the age of 90, just like Barbara Walters and June Squibb, who were both born in 1929. These two legendary women have contributed plenty to the industry of entertainment and mass media.

Barbara is a retired journalist who is best known for her works in The Today Show, ABC Evening News, and 20/20. She has interviewed many controversial and high-profile personalities such as Margaret Thatcher, Fidel Castro, Indira Gandhi, and many more. Meanwhile, Squibb is a legendary actress in Hollywood. She was a theatre actress in the beginning, but gained prominence on the big screen following her debut. She recently made waves for her supporting role in the 2013 film Nebraska, which got nominated at the Oscars. Her television credit is also considerable so it must have earned her a bit of wealth.

JUNE SQUIBB – $1 Million

Barbara Walters and June Squibb’s work and contribution to society are far from the same, but it is safe to say that they are both inspiring. Walters may have had her success early on, but it wasn’t too late for Squibb either. She has had quite the colorful career and her recent revival only serves as cherry on top of that cake.  To her credit, Squibb has defied ageism- a stigma in the entertainment industry for those of older age.

Walters has a $175 million net worth, while Squibb has a $1 million net worth. Their net worth might have a huge difference, but it seems like Squibb has the upper hand here. Squibb is still active in the industry to this day, unlike Walters, who already retired in 2016. Walters may win wealth-wise, but they are both role models whose work many aspire to.
