Netflix first aired Stranger Things in 2016. Since that time, it has since become one of the most-watched shows on the streaming platform, perhaps to be replaced by Wednesday in the coming year. Whether you have seen a few episodes, or have binge-watched all four seasons more than once, there is no denying just how great a show Stranger Things really is.
The cast includes Hollywood faves Winona Ryder and David Harbour. These A-list actors were joined by fresh faces to bring the show to life, including Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, and Caleb McLaughlin, who have all become household names. With the show being green-lighted for a fifth season, fans are wondering how much the cast is worth, and who comes up on top with the highest net worth. Let's find out!
Updated July 2023: Since the last update, it has been announced that 'Stranger Things' will have a Season Five. This will substantially bump all the actors' net worths. Just how much will depend on how many episodes are shot. This is because all are paid on an episode-by-episode basis.
While there has been little change to most of the net worths of the actors, since 2020, Millie Bobby Brown went from $10 million to a $14 million fortune. As such, she is poised to bump Winona Ryder as having the most wealth of the actors on the show with an acting career that is currently on fire.
Noah Schnapp
In Noah Schnapp's short career, he has been in films that have had staggering box office grosses. As a result of his exposure from Bridge of Spies and playing the voice of Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie, Schnapp landed the role of Will Byers in Stranger Things. And this is where he earned the bulk of his net worth.
Currently, Schnapp has a "net worth $3 million." But given his talent, this number is sure to increase in the future.
Caleb McLaughlin
The bulk of experience Caleb McLaughlin had before being cast in Stranger Things came from his time on Broadway. While there were small parts here and there on the small screen, it is because of the Netflix series that McLaughlin has been able to build a net worth of $3 million. Where his career and net worth skyrocket to after Stranger Things ends is anyone's guess. But once production begins again, his net worth will rise with each episode he shoots.
Finn Wolfhard
As a result of his fame on Stranger Things, Finn Wolfhard has earned a net worth of $4 million. Better still, however, Wolfhard's career took off like a rocket as a result of his exposure on the Netflix series.
In addition to Stranger Things, Wolfhard has been very successful as a voice actor, landing roles in Duncanville, Carmen Sandiego, and most notably, the live-action Pinocchio. He has also starred in the remake of It and several short films.
With several projects in post-production, Wolfhard is staying busy in his young career. And if his luck holds, he may just continue to grow his net worth in the future.
Joe Keery
Joe Keery, like most of the Stranger Things cast became a household name as a result of the series. And it is because of Stranger Things that Keery has gone on to have guest starring roles on the small screen and even have a large role in the film Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds.
Because of his talent, Keery has amassed a net worth of $5 million. And with one more season of Stranger Things to go, that number will only rise.
Gaten Matarazzo
While Gaten Matarazzo had bit parts trying to get a foothold in the entertainment industry, it was Stranger Things that allowed him to grow his wealth to an impressive $5 million.
Not knowing how successful the first season of the show would be, Matarazzo was paid $10,000 per episode. From there, however, as the show grew in popularity, so did Matarazzo's paycheck. So much so, that by the time the fourth season rolled around, Matarazzo made "$2.25 million for nine episodes." As such, it is clear that the money Matarazzo has made is all thanks to Stranger Things.
David Harbour
Returning for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is David Harbour. While the series helped with Harbour's career, it is not the only reason that his net worth is $6 million. He has quite a resume, most recently of which includes that of superhero roles in Hellboy and Black Widow.
Like the rest of the cast, Harbour was given a significant pay raise when it was clear that Stranger Things would be a success. As such, he stands to make "$350,000 per episode" for Season Five. And depending on how many episodes are going to be filmed, that could bump up Harbour's net worth significantly.
Millie Bobby Brown
Millie Bobby Brown has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child. At the age of nine, she landed a role in Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, which led to guest starring roles in many successful tv shows. But it was because of Stranger Things that Brown's career took off and has allowed her to amass a $14 million fortune.
Her exposure led Brown to star in the Enola Holmes films, have several projects that are in the can awaiting post-production, and even a lucrative coffee line. While Brown has been a magnet for scandal, her career looks very bright. and the figure that Brown is worth now is small compared to what she will make in the future.
Winona Ryder
Given that Ryder has been in the industry since she was a child as well, it is no wonder that she has been able to amass a fortune of $18 million for herself. With successful movies such as Heathers and Beetlejuice launching Ryder's career, it appeared that everything she touched would turn to box office gold.
However, after a 2001 shoplifting scandal threatened to derail her acting career completely, Ryder took some time off to reevaluate her life. Since that time, she has been able to not only rebuild her career but Ryder appears to be more popular than ever. As such, it would not be unheard of for her net worth to rise in the years to come.
