Brigitte Bardot’s Net Worth: How Wealthy Is the Iconic Actress?

Brigitte Bardot has a net worth of $65 million. Born on September 28, 1934, Bardot became one of the most iconic symbols of the sexual revolution in the 1960s. Although she retired from the entertainment industry in 1973, Bardot’s legacy as a pop culture icon endures.

Throughout her career, she acted in 47 films, starred in several musicals, and recorded over 60 songs. Her significant contributions to French cinema and culture were recognized when she was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1985.

In 1950, at just 15 years old, Bardot appeared on the cover of Elle magazine, which caught the attention of film director Marc Allégret. Though her parents were initially opposed to her becoming an actress, they eventually relented under the condition that she would marry her first love, director Roger Vadim, at 18.

Bardot’s first significant film role came in 1952 with “Crazy for Love.” However, it was her role in “And God Created Woman” (1956) that catapulted her to international fame. The film portrayed Bardot as a free-spirited, hedonistic young woman, solidifying her image as a “sex kitten.”

Bardot’s career flourished in the 1960s, with notable roles in films like “Le Mépris” (1963) by Jean-Luc Godard and “Viva Maria!” (1965), where she starred alongside Jeanne Moreau. She also ventured into singing, recording several popular songs throughout the 1960s and 1970s, often collaborating with Serge Gainsbourg.
