Star’s Net Worth: $16 million*
Annual Protection Cost: Unknown 

Actress Vanesa Hudgens became famous in the 2000s for her role in High School Musical, a part that helped launch her career. The actress revealed that she often needed protection after the movies were released, recalling an incident in London in 2008 after the HSM: Senior Year (the third in the franchise) release.

She and then-boyfriend, co-star Zac Efron, were walking out of a theater when a drunk man attacked Vanessa, giving her a “huge scratch.” Luckily, her bodyguards stopped the crazed fan, and she was unhurt otherwise. Though she hasn’t acted in as huge a blockbuster since, Hudgens still keeps security around for safety.
