20 Years Later, Here's The Richest Member of The O.C. Cast

Fox's series about Ben McKenzie's Ryan Atwood, a teenager from a broken home who is adopted by a very wealthy couple, is still considered one of the most iconic shows of the 2000s, with millions of people still re-watching it 16 years after its finale. And it's not hard to see why, as The O.C. perfectly balances a rewarding main story about a troubled young man in unusual circumstances with countless other compelling storylines.

The show's many fans may wonder: how much money are the original O.C. cast members worth now, and who is the richest of them all?

Here are the 10 richest O.C. actors, ranked by their net worth:

10. Mischa Barton – $2.5 million

9. Chris Carmack – $4 million

8. Melinda Clarke – $4 million

7. Alan Dale – $4 million

6. Tate Donovan – $5 million

5. Rachel Bilson – $12 million

4. Peter Gallagher – $12 million

3. Ben McKenzie – $13 million

2. Adam Brody – $16 million

1. Kelly Rowan – $25 million (engaged and shares a child with David Thompson, the richest man in Canada)

Yep, it looks like both McKenzie and Gallagher have been surpassed by their co-star Kelly Rowan, who hasn't really been in many shows and movies since the end of O.C. So why is she worth a staggering $25 million?

The thing is, Kelly was once engaged to David Thomson, a hereditary peer, media magnate, and the richest man in Canada, who has an insane net worth of $58 billion, and the two even have a child together. Looks like Rowan doesn't need to star in movies to enjoy a rich lifestyle!

McKenzie, on the other hand, became a fan favorite after his time on The O.C., headlining successful shows like Southland and Gotham and earning some pretty impressive amounts of money along the way. Gallagher has not been sitting still either, keeping himself busy and appearing in a ton of shows and movies over the past few years.

It looks like The O.C. has had a huge impact on the careers of all of its main actors, making them really wealthy in the process.
