Ellen DeGeneres
The famous daytime talk show host didn’t launch “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”—the vehicle that brought her global fame and wealth—until she was 45 years old. Before that, she was well-known in the United States for her sitcom “Ellen,” in which she played the first openly gay character in primetime history. However, even that show didn’t air its first episode until 1998, when the comedian was 36.
