Swanson was the highest paid actress in Hollywood by the 1920s; she reportedly made and spent more than $8 million in the decade. Swanson was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Sadie Thompson in 1928.
Swanson was known also as a big jewelry fan: Her annual jewelry budget was said to be $500,000.
