Throughout its 32 and soon to be 33 seasons, Dancing with the Stars has seen a lot of professional dancers. Some of them lasted only one or two seasons, while others have stayed on the show for over a decade. But no matter what, each professional dancer will always be a part of the show. After leaving, most of the pros have gone on to have successful careers of their own, while others focused on raising their family.

DWTS professionals make a good amount of money per episode, so their net worth is sure to be impressive. While many of the contestants have high net worths, the pros are not doing too shabby for themselves either. These are the richest Dancing With The Stars pros of all-time.

Updated September 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the most recent information regarding the richest "Dancing with the Stars" pros on the show.
