Two decades before the so-called '80s Brat Pack, the Rat Pack folded some of America's best-loved celebs into a supergroup of talent. Composed of onscreen talent like actor Peter Lawford and comedy host Joey Bishop alongside singers Sammy Davis, Jr, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack was bound to be a hit.
But, naturally, some of its members found more success than others throughout their solo careers, causing their net worths to vary wildly. We're ranking just how much each member of the '60s Rat Pack had to spare.

Peter Lawford, born 7 September 1923, was an English-American actor best known for his roles in Oceans 11 (1960) and Little Women (1949) as teen heartthrob Laurie. His net worth reflects these well-loved roles, sitting comfortably at $1 million.
The actor married four times and was brother-in-law to President John F. Kennedy during his first marriage to Patricia Kennedy. He raised four children. Lawford passed away on Christmas Eve 1984 at 61 years old, following a cardiac arrest.

Sammy Davis, Jr was married three times, remaining with his third wife, fellow entertainer Altovise Davis, until his death in 1990 at the age of 64. He was a father of four. While he died in debt to the IRS, his lasting legacy reportedly puts his net worth at a not-insignificant $5 million.

Born 3 February 1918, Joey Bishop was an American entertainer and chat show host. He appeared with the rest of the Rat Pack in Ocean's 11 and hosted The Joey Bishop Show between 1961 and 1965. These onscreen appearances clearly made an impact and put his net worth at third place with $10 million.
He married Sylvia Ruzga in 1941, welcoming one child together, and remained with her until her death in 1999. Joey died eight years later in 2007.

History of 'The Rat Pack'
Frank Sinatra seems to have had a talent for leading the way, topping our list and being credited with the creation of the Rat Pack, though the name itself reportedly comes from actress Lauren Bacall. Nicknamed the "den mother", she once remarked: "I see the rat pack is all here".
Lauren explained in her memoir that, "in order to qualify, one had to be addicted to nonconformity, staying up late, drinking, laughing, and not caring what anyone thought or said about us."
