While "Gigi" earned Audrey Hepburn theatrical success, she had not yet tested Hollywood. When she did, she quickly became a box office commodity. Her first film, 1953's "Roman Holiday," blasted her to superstardom and she won an Academy Award for playing a princess who takes a short break from the duties of royal life.
While a host of films followed, including "Sabrina," "Charade," "Funny Face," "The Nun's Story," and "Wait Until Dark," (via IMDb) Hepburn decided to take sporadic roles in the 1970s and 1980s so she could focus her attentions on her family. She married Andrea Dotti in 1969 and gave birth to their son, Luca, a year later. She already had a son, Sean, from her first marriage to Mel Ferrer (via Biography).
That did not mean, however, that Hepburn would not continue to be an active public figure. With her financial life secure after decades of theater work and movie making, the singer and actress chose to dedicate her life to children across the world, becoming the goodwill ambassador to the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF. It was UNICEF that eventually established the Audrey Hepburn Society, which as of this writing has raised close to $100 million, according to Celebrity Net Wealth. As for Hepburn's wealth at the time of her death in 1993, the outlet reported she was worth a whopping $55 million.
