Who is the Richest Big Bang Theory Actor in 2023? Main Cast Net Worth, Ranked
Here's how much the beloved geeks and their friends are worth.
The Big Bang Theory is undoubtedly the most popular sitcom of the 21st century, with millions of fans still rewatching the story of the geeky Pasadena ganga and friends.
Of course, the show made history with its brilliant jokes and interesting storylines, but the insane amount of money the actors made from it is also noteworthy.
While not every cast member was able to cement their success after the show ended, the seven main TBBT stars are still extremely wealthy people. Here's how much money they're actually worth in 2023.
- Melissa Rauch — $20 million
- Mayim Bialik — $25 million
- Kunal Nayyar — $45 million
- Simon Helberg — $55 million
- Johnny Galecki — $100 million
- Kaley Cuoco — $100 million
- Jim Parsons — $160 million
Both Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik became the series' regulars much later than the rest of the cast, with their characters Bernadette and Amy first appearing only in the show's third season. This explains why their net worths are significantly lower than their fellow actors'.
However, we can expect that Rauch will soon increase her fortune thanks to her starring role in NBC's Night Court revival. The new show's first season has been a big success, and the second one is expected to be released this fall.
The fact that Kunal Nayyar, who played Raj, is worth less among the rest of the cast is also understandable, as the actor never managed to score himself interesting roles after TBBT. Simon Helberg — whose character, Howard, was also more of a secondary presence like Raj — appeared in several successful movies in recent years and even received a Golden Globe nomination.
Both Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are still working hard and their $100-million net worths are impressive, but Jim Parson is simply beyond their reach in terms of paychecks. In addition to narrating the TBBT prequel, Young Sheldon, the actor frequently appears in movies, TV series, and commercials, using his Sheldon Cooper fame to his advantage.
Galecki and Cuoco are struggling a bit to stay relevant, as their performances as Leonard and Penny seem to be the peak of their careers.
