Linda Evans, a renowned veteran American actress, has garnered a net worth of $20 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. Best known for her role in the prime soap opera "Dynasty," Linda Evans has made a mark in the entertainment industry with her talent and charisma. Living a quiet and peaceful life in the small town of Rainier, Washington, Evans has happily bid farewell to her past struggles. “I have 70 acres with a river running through it,” she said in an interview on the "Oprah Winfrey Show". "We’ve got dogs. We’ve got deer. I live in heaven," she had shared, per Northwest Prime Time.  After getting back in the game at 78 while shooting "Swan Song," Evans seems to have realized that life is full of surprises, and she's embracing all of it—writing, cooking, working with organizations like Meals on Wheels, and traveling the country to speak on graceful aging.

Linda Evans' primary source of income was her acting career, where she achieved fame and recognition. From her early days gracing the TV screen as the daring Audra Barkley to reigning supreme as the elegant Krystle Carrington in the notorious "Dynasty," Linda Evans has proved herself a force to be reckoned with. With more plot twists in her personal life than in some of the shows she starred in, Evans has exemplified resilience and grace under the spotlight. Beyond her on-screen endeavors, her foray into the fitness world and even the infomercial scene showcased her versatility. In addition to her acting, she earned income from endorsements, book sales, and her involvement in the fitness business.

In 1981, Linda Evans made a smart real estate move when she acquired a Beverly Hills property for $600,000, which would be worth around $1.7 million today. This house became a notable hotspot, even housing Dolly Parton for nearly a decade. Evans decided to bid farewell to her Beverly Hills gem in 2010, listing it for a hefty $3.3 million after enjoying years of $15,000 per month in rent. Eventually, she accepted $2.7 million about a year later. But Evans' real estate journey didn't stop there; she embraced a serene lakeside retreat in rural Washington during the height of her "Dynasty" fame. When the show's curtains fell, she made yet another wise move, trading the lake house for a vast 70-acre property near Olympia, Washington, showing that her sense of luxury extended beyond the glitz and glamor of the small screen into her well-chosen real estate investments.
