Mila Kunis – Ukrainian/U.S

Mila Kunis, who rose to prominence after her lauded performance in Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2008, is best known for her credit role as Jackie Burkhart on That ‘70s Show. None of this will lead you to believe she spent her first seven years of life in Ukraine and learned English in part through watching American game shows like The Price is Right. Her parents are Jewish, and by the time they chose to leave in 1990, most of their relatives had already left Ukraine for Israel, Germany, or the United States.

At first, the family suffered when they first arrived in the country. Kunis’ parents, who arrived in the United States with just $250 in their pockets after the Soviet Union fell apart, left behind successful careers in Ukraine. Thankfully, after several years in the Hollywood industry and accolades, Kunis’ net worth is estimated to be $75 million. Her parents must be incredibly proud.
