9. Ben Flajnik

Broadimage / Rex Features8. Jason Mesnick
Estimated Net Worth: $1 million. Jason Mesnick will always be one of the most memorable Bachelor leads thanks to his infamous “switch” on the season’s finale when he instead chose his runner-up Molly Malaney after already proposing to Melissa Rycroft.

He’s appeared on Dancing with the Stars, Bachelor Pad, Famous Food and Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off. And of course, you can’t forget his actual acting gigs as the pilot on The Bold and the Beautiful and on the web series Burning Love.
