Before Coming to America's Shari Headley landed her role as Lisa McDowell, she got her big break working on The Cosby Show in 1985 and later appeared in an episode of Miami Vice. With the success of Eddie Murphy's beloved comedy, we're sure Headley made out pretty well, adding to her impressive net worth. The actress' fortune is estimated to be about $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Now that sounds like a piggy bank Prince Akeem would approve of!

"I'm so blessed that people enjoy this movie 30 years later," Headley said of the film to HipHollywood in November 2017. At the time, she was attending a McDowell's pop-up restaurant, an ode to the movie, and she was rocking the same sweater she wore on set. It looks like Headley will always be thankful for her breakout role, not just for the cash, but for the community the film has fostered over the years.
