Dorothy Hamill

Dorothy Hamill is a retired figure skater who grabbed both the World Figure Skating and Olympic championship in 1976. In 1983, she was awarded a prestigious Emmy trophy for her outstanding individual achievement in the world of the performing arts. Hamill is also an inductee at the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame since 2000, and a skating rink in her hometown in Greenwich, Connecticut, is even named after her. She is married to John MacColl since 2009.

Her time with Ice Capades, a touring theatrical ice skating show, surely earned a special place in her heart that she chose to spend her riches for this company. Yes, it was in 1993 when she decided to drop her investment money to acquire it. However, the masses reportedly lost admiration for the Ice Capades, which forced her to sell it two years after the acquisition.
