Gloria Steinem, the feminist icon who passed away this week at 92, spent decades fighting for women’s rights.
Through her work as an author, journalist, and public speaker, she amassed a net worth estimated at $10 million. But even as she fought for equal pay for women, she wasn’t someone who put much stock in money for money’s sake. When asked in 2018 what advice she had for college graduates, Steinem encouraged them to pursue work that matched their interests and talents—not simply the biggest paycheck.
