1. You can take a few classes in any subject without having to major in it - five majors that don't have overlapping courses could take you more than 8 years of college to complete. Very few schools will consider letting you do that (most private schools won't let you take more than 2 majors). I suggest you pick one major from those, maybe two, and you can always take a few business and acting courses for electives.
2. you don't have a clue about the real world, stop dreaming and get some down to earth advice from your school counsellor. If you don't even bother to find out about NY colleges yourself you are unlikely to manage five majors.
3. No, as far as I know you can only have a double major (which is 2). Some colleges will let you customize your major to accommodate all of your interests. Just for your information though, just because you're known and wealthy doesn't mean you'll enjoy your job.
4. You can, if you have about a decade to spend in college.
5. Listen to the others on this one, young Padawan...It sounds to me like you're like every other Junior. Not really knowing what you want to do. You most likely will need a ton of hard work and a even more luck to become "well known and wealthy" in any one of those fields, little own all 5. Focus your dreams down to 1 because there's not a single person on this world who's a wealthy, well known Interior designer/architect that is also a fashion designer and actress. Sounds to me like you might be able to combine two of those though and do a double major. Being an architect who also does interior design sounds like it could go hand in hand. I'd suggest you think about which one would make you happier (one thing) and focus on that.
6. there is absolutely no way you can major in 5 things, stop dreaming and face reality, and if by a miracle you want to do, expect to fail cause it's hopeless, people work hard to get even 1 and some still fail or drop out
