PATRICK DEMPSEY—EST. $60 MILLION

Patrick abord was born and raised in Maine. He didn’t finish high school, in part because of dyslexia. At the age of 11, Patrick performed in a local troupe and participated in professional competitions, which developed his interest in drama. At the age of 17, he left his hometown for Los Angeles and got an interview to play torch song trilogy. Patrick Dempsey is of course known by many for playing Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd in Grey’s Anatomy. Those of an older generation, however, will also know him for his breakout role in the film Can’t Buy Me Love.

Alas, the man is now worth $60 million, so he can, for all intents and purposes, buy anything he wishes. Dempsey reportedly got into a legal dispute with famous lawyer Michael Avenatti when both attempted to purchase Tully’s coffee. We’re not sure what happened there, but it was apparently so messy that on Tully’s Wikipedia page, Global Baristas ended up agreeing “to never operate a coffee chain, or any other food or beverage business, under the name again.” Yikes.
