Sidney Poitier & Joanna Shimkus
Sidney Poitier Net Worth: $25 million
Joanna Shimkus Net Worth: $1 million
At this time, Sidney Poitier holds the record of being the oldest and the earliest surviving Oscar winner for Best Actor. On top of being a successful actor, Poitier also is a retired Ambassador of Bahamas to Japan. He also served on the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company from 1995 to 2003. His wife, Joanna Shimkus, is a retired actress who made her film debut in the 1960s, just like Poitier.
The two have been married since 1976 and are still going strong after more than 40 years. Two daughters came out of the marriage, one of whom became popular as an actress, appearing in the TV show Veronica Mars. When they celebrated the patriarch’s 90th birthday in 2017, the whole clan was present, including the couple’s grandchildren. We hope everyone in the family inherited the former ambassador’s good money management skills, considering his large savings in the bank.
