Here are some of the greatest couples from America's favorite dance show.

Throughout the 31 seasons of Dancing with the Stars, we have seen many brilliant performances that took our breath away with the dancers' astonishing moves that sashayed right onto our screens. Dozens of gorgeous celebrities and athletes paired with professional dancers have given us unforgettable emotions through their amazing choreography.

While not every contestant managed to develop the harmony necessary for such sophisticated and complex performances, many of the couples became the living embodiment of dance — and here are the greatest and wealthiest of them.

5. James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess

Although the pair finished second in Season 23, they will forever be remembered as some of the best performers in the show's history. At the beginning, the IndyCar racing star was not confident in his moves, but the Australian ballroom dancer's support made them one of the brightest contestants.

The two also proved to be a very wealthy couple on the show, with an estimated net worth of around $3 million both. Although Sharna did not win with James, the dancer took home a well-deserved gold in Season 23 with Bobby Bones for her mentoring and choreography skills.

4. Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy

Val won gold in Seasons 20 and 23, where he danced with Rumer Willis and Laurie Hernandez, respectively. However, many fans believe that his best partner was the flamboyant Zendaya in Season 16. No one had more expressive and charismatic moves than her, and Val was a perfect match thanks to his equally flashy personality.

The couple is also incredibly wealthy, as the dancer is worth $7 million and the actress' fortune is an incredible $20 million!

3. Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold

In Season 25, Fisher and Arnold were a true phenomenon, as Jordan and his mentor not only performed some of the most difficult moves in the show's history but also earned nine perfect scores throughout the season, winning gold eventually.

Even though the actor and the dancer are not as rich as the couple above, their net worth is still impressive — Arnold's capital is estimated at $2–3 million, and Fisher's is $4 million.

2. Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough

Season 21 winners Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough literally stole the show throughout the season. Led by the winner of Seasons 7, 10, 11, 16, and 17, the daughter of Steve Irwin proved to be a born dancer!

The young Australian TV personality's net worth is an impressive $3 million, while one of America's top choreographers is worth $8 million.

1. Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Season 18 champions Meryl Davis and Val's older brother Maks boasted the best chemistry on the show ever! Each of their performances was incredibly dramatic, which is why they are at the top of our list.

The former ice dancer and Season 4, 5, 7, 10, and 12 award winner also proved to be a very wealthy couple, with a net worth of $2 million and $8 million, respectively.
