One of Hollywood’s most renowned, Ashton Kutcher, first permeated the screens when he starred in That 70s Show, where fans were compelled by his charming humor, handsome looks, and witty lines. It is worth noting that the actor is now estimated to have a net worth of $140 million which he earned from acting and investments in technology such as Skype, Foursquare, and Airbnb. He also became part of Twitter’s history after being the first user to gain a million followers. He also secured a spot in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

Ashton acquired a degree in biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa to help his brother, who had a heart condition. However, Ashton seemed to lean on the social side of student life. This sudden change eventually got him to join a modeling contest that would change the trajectory of his life.
