Over the course of decades, the "Golden Girls" star has turned into one of show business' most beloved figures, along with "Happy Days" actor Henry Winkler - now, after about seven decades in the entertainment business, what is Betty White's net worth?

Although relatively younger audiences will know her best for her role as Rose Nylund in "Golden Girls" (which many consider a predecessor to HBO shows like "Sex and the City" and the newer Lena Dunham hit "Girls"), Betty White's net worth has been a work of decades, ever since she first started working in film way back in 1945.

Ever since the 40s, it hasn't been a year that the famous comedy actress hasn't seen the spotlight in entertainment, mostly in television shows: Betty White's net worth comes, at a great measure, from different roles in television, ranging from her stint in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" in the 70s to more recent ventures like "Hot in Cleveland," in which she's starred since 2010 and has earned her two consecutive Screen Actors Guild Awards.

A most beloved figure in the entertainment business, Betty White's net worth is the fruit of literally decades of hard work. And she hasn't stopped since - as reported by The Daily Mail earlier this week, the actress with the legendary sense of humor, she was just part of the People's Choice ceremony on January 7, where she was escorted onstage by Captain America himself, Chris Evans!

In the show, the actress received the award for TV Icon, due to her long and incredibly successful career in the medium, which holds the Guinness record for being the longest in television. White also had recurring roles in comedic shows like "That 70s Show," the William Shatner and James Spader dramedy "Boston Legal" and most recently in "Community."

Currently, Betty White's net worth stands at $45 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - goes to show just how much money a television legend makes in a lifetime!
