Celebrities From Massachusetts

I'm from St. Louis which the locals refer to as HolLouisWood. Ok not one single person has ever refered to it as that until now. But we do have LOTS of celebrities from my home town. In fact in the Delmar Loop we have a walk of fame with all the greatest celebrities from the Lou. With big names like Scott Bakula, Jon Hamm and uhhh...Williams S Buourghs (DON'T GOOGLE THAT NAME OR READ ANYTHING HE'S EVER WRITTEN). The point is celebrities can be from everywhere, and certainly there are a lot of celebrities from Massachusetts, my current home state.

Celebrities we all know

I decided to rank the best known celebrities, and most searched for celebrities from the Bay State  by their net worth. Why? Because I feel if you are going to leave the commonwealth and strike out for Hollywood making your mother cry into her lobster roll then damn it you'd better make some money doing it. That means that some celebrities from Massachusetts didn't make the list even though they are well known. Even though I love Rachael Dratch and she's from my current hometown of Lexington, I don't think anyone has considered her a celebrity since 2005.

Which celebrities from Massachusetts made the list?

I made a list of over 100 celebrities from Massachusetts and then ranked them by how often they have been searched for on Google over the past year. Then I went to CelebrityNetWorth.Com and found their net worth. I put it all into a spreadsheet and ranked the top 15 and voila! Here you go!
