Keely Shaye-Brosnan may be married to an A-list Hollywood actor, but she's helped amass their family fortune as a successful career woman herself.

Pierce Brosnan's wife's net worth is estimated at $100 million by Celebritynetworth.com when combined with the James Bond star's fortune, while the outlet goes on to report his to be twice that amount, as do many more.

So how did the happy couple - who have been married for more than two decades - make their money?

Pierce was born to humble beginnings though. His father was a carpenter but abandoned his family when Pierce was a child. While his mom worked as a nurse to make ends meet, he was raised by his grandparents.

He told The Guardian: "My father took off for the hills and, for my mother, it was a very difficult time in the 50s to be a single parent. So, in many respects, I created my own self."

He was encouraged to "follow your dreams" by his mom, and he did just that, meeting Keely along the way. They were introduced at a beach party in Mexico in 1994. Keely was there to interview Cheers actor Ted Danson when she started talking to Pierce and the pair hit it off immediately.
