Prominent philanthropist and filmmaker Abigail Disney has an estimated net worth of $500 million in 2012. She is one of the members of the Disney Family who founded the world renowned Walt Disney. As a filmmaker, she is known to produce documentaries that feature social themes.

Abigail Disney was born to Roy E. Disney and Patricia Ann  Dailey. Her grandfather, Roy O. Disney, is one of the founders of the famous The Walt Disney Company. In 2012, she was reported to have renounced her massive shares in the family's fortune (Ahava cosmetics company). She reasoned out that she cannot just earn profit from something that pillages or plunders the occupied natural resources. Due to some legal concerns, she could not just withdraw her investments which led Abigail Disney to donate her profits and shares to organizations that promote the ceasing of illegal exploitation.
