20 Years Later, Who's the Richest How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Star?

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is turning 20 this year.

Upon its release in 2003, the movie got moderate reviews from the audience and was generally disliked by critics, but over the years, it has turned into a classic of the rom-com genre and is remembered warmly by fans.

While there's probably nothing exceptional about the film's central idea and writing, the main reason behind its success is the solid cast, led by Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey and featuring a number of other great actors in addition to the main pair. Let's look at how their careers turned out two decades later using the most objective method of measuring success — money.

Of course, there's an enormous wealth gap between the leads and all the other actors from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Kathryn Hahn (played Michelle, Andie's best friend) comes in last, at 6th place; she has only $2 million.

Thomas Lennon (Thayer) and Adam Goldberg (Tony)

Both share a 5th place with a net worth of about $6 million.

Veteran comedian Robert Klein (who played Barry's boss) in 4th place has a fortune of around $10 million.

And our 3rd place goes to the supermodel and actress Shalom Harlow (one of Barry's work rivals). She was listed in the World’s 15 Top-Earning Supermodels by Forbes magazine back in 2007 and her current net worth is estimated to be around $11 million.

Kate Hudson, the female lead who played Andie Anderson, is in second place with a net worth of $80 million. The actress starred in a number of movies throughout the 2000s and 2010s, with her most recent prominent role being Birdie Jay in Glass Onion (2022).

Matthew McConaughey tops our list. He was the male lead in How to Lose a Guy, portraying Benjamin Barry. The actor has played a number of notable roles over the years, so it's not surprising that he is now the richest member of the rom-com's cast.

McConaughey's net worth is estimated at around $160 million — obviously, his roles in highly successful Interstellar (2014) and The Gentlemen (2019) did wonders to his bank account.

So it's likely that these numbers correspond nicely with what you'd expect to see — the lead actors from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days have acquired large fortunes, while the supporting cast members are far behind them.

Once again, this illustrates just how tough the competition is in the world of movies, and one can easily end up playing minor characters for the rest of their lives. But fortunately, even these smaller roles pay well, as all cast members from the fan-favorite comedy managed to save up at least a couple of million dollars!
