Conrad Janis, 90 – $15 million
Conrad Janis was born into a creative, artistic family. His parents were writers, and his father was also an art dealer. An actor and a jazz trombonist, Conrad has strived to keep the traditional jazz alive and he even formed a band with people we admire, including James P. Johnson, Pops Foster, Baby Dodds, and Edmond Hall. More than 20 years later, he put together another band called The Beverly Hills Unlisted Jazz Band who appeared on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Janis entered retirement in 2012 and does not make public appearances anymore.
