Big names, big bank balances.

Parks and Rec has made many of us laugh and contributed to the personal wealth of its stars. Here's a rundown of its richest cast members:

10. Retta (Donna Meagle) - $3 million

Born Marietta Sirleaf in 1970, the star who played Donna Meagle is a multi-talent. Starting out as a stand-up, Retta has had numerous acting roles, including that of office manager Donna.

9. Jim O'Heir (Jerry Gergrich) - $3 million

O'Heir started out in a Chicago comedy troupe in the 90s. He went on to star in several films as well as Ally McBeal and Malcolm in the Middle before playing Jerry in Parks and Rec.

8. Adam Scott (Ben Wyatt) - $8 million

After making his acting debut in 1994, Scott spent a few years bouncing around the industry. But it was his role as Henry Pollard in Party Down that got him noticed and led to him landing the role of Ben.

7. Aubrey Plaza (April Ludgate) - $8 million

Parks and Rec was only Plaza's second TV show. After only a handful of acting roles before playing April, she went on to star in films like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and is now a producer.

6. Aziz Ansari (Tom Haverford) - $25 million

Ansari has had a varied career, including stand-up comedy, starring in a Jay-Z and Kanye West video and playing Dev Shah in Master of None from 2015 to 2021.

5. Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) - $25 million

With roles in Deadwood, The Simpsons and The Last of Us, Offerman has been around the acting block a few times. His career dates back to 1997 and includes credits as a comedian, actor, writer and producer.

4. Rashida Jones (Ann Perkins) - $25 million

Jones' acting career began as a teenager in the miniseries The Last Don. She made her way to Parks and Rec via The Office, Robot Chicken and other roles. She also co-wrote Toy Story 4.

3. Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope) - $25 million

In a career spanning four decades, award-winning actress Amy Poehler has done it all. From Hamlet to SpongeBob SquarePants, she seems to have her hand in almost every role. And she was brilliant as Leslie Knope in Parks and Rec.

2. Chris Pratt (Andy Dwyer) - $80 million

Parks and Rec gave Pratt his big break as an actor. And boy, has he made the most of it. His filmography now includes The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. Not bad, considering Andy was only supposed to be a temporary character.

1. Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger) - $120 million

Acting royalty and a member of the 90s Brat Pack, Rob Lowe needs no introduction. His list of credits is both long and impressive. But he doesn't take himself too seriously and gives a great performance as Chris Traeger.
