Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars is hitting ABC screens on March 13, 2026, and this season is stacking the podium with some serious talent. Hosted by Ken Jennings, this fourth instalment of the primetime quiz show reunites 18 fan-favourite returning contestants alongside the three reigning seasonal champions: Ike Barinholtz (Season 1), Lisa Ann Walter (Season 2), and W. Kamau Bell (Season 3). Each of those champions gets a direct seed into the semifinals, which is a pretty sweet deal. The ultimate prize? A cool $1 million for the winner’s chosen charity.
But beyond the trivia battles, who’s actually bringing the most financial firepower into the studio? Here’s a look at the top 10 richest cast members, ranked from lowest to highest net worth.
Rankings
| Rank | Celebrity | Net Worth |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | Ray Romano | $200 Million |

| #10 | W. Kamau Bell | ~$4 Million |
#10 – W. Kamau Bell | ~$4 Million
Season 3 Champion | Stand-Up Comedian, TV Host, Author
Bell walks into All Stars as the reigning champion, and his story is worth knowing. He built his profile through the Emmy-winning CNN docuseries United Shades of America, which collected three Primetime Emmys between 2017 and 2019. His Showtime documentary We Need to Talk About Cosby (2022) earned him a Peabody Award, and his book Do The Work: An Antiracist Activity Book hit the New York Times bestseller list. Touring fees, podcast revenue, book royalties, and TV hosting gigs all feed into his estimated $4 million fortune. In the Season 3 finale, he won $1 million for DonorsChoose. Can he go back-to-back?
#9 – Margaret Cho | ~$5 Million
Season 3 Contestant | Stand-Up Comedian, Actress, Fashion Designer
Margaret Cho has been breaking barriers since 1994, when All-American Girl became the first American primetime sitcom centred on an Asian-American family. Her stand-up specials, particularly I’m the One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O., had theatrical releases and earned serious critical praise. She’s picked up a Primetime Emmy nomination and multiple GLAAD Media Awards over the years. In Season 3 of Celebrity Jeopardy!, she made history for a less glamorous reason: the highest Daily Double loss in the show’s primetime history, wagering $16,500. Her $5 million net worth comes from decades of comedy touring, acting, and her fashion work.
#8 – Ike Barinholtz | ~$5 Million
Season 1 Champion | Actor, Comedian, Director, Writer
Barinholtz was the very first Celebrity Jeopardy! champion, and he’s back to remind everyone of that fact. He first made his name as a writer and performer on Fox’s MADtv (2002–2007), then earned genuine fan affection as Morgan Tookers on The Mindy Project (2012–2017). His film credits span Neighbors, Suicide Squad, Blockers, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. In 2025, he landed some of the strongest reviews of his career for his role in Apple TV+’s The Studio. He enters All Stars as a seeded semifinalist with something to prove.
#7 – Andy Richter | ~$10 Million
Season 1 Contestant | Actor, Writer, Comedian, Podcaster
For nearly three decades, Andy Richter was the face sitting just off-camera from Conan O’Brien, serving as his sidekick and announcer across Late Night, The Tonight Show, and Conan from 1993 to 2021. Outside of the couch, he built a solid film career with roles in Elf (2003), Talladega Nights, and Blades of Glory, plus voicing the beloved lemur Mort across the entire Madagascar franchise. He currently hosts The Three Questions with Andy Richter podcast. His $10 million net worth is the result of nearly three decades of consistent work across television, film, and voice acting. Fun fact: he set a Celebrity Jeopardy! record back in 2009 with a single-episode score of $68,000. Don’t sleep on him.
#6 – Patton Oswalt | ~$10 Million
Season 1 Contestant | Stand-Up Comedian, Actor, Voice Actor, Author
Patton Oswalt has been one of the most consistently respected comedians in the business for over 25 years. He played Spence Olchin across all nine seasons of CBS’s The King of Queens (1998–2007) and gave voice to Remy in Pixar’s Academy Award-winning Ratatouille (2007), arguably one of the best animated films ever made. His stand-up special Annihilation (2017) won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album, and he narrated ABC’s The Goldbergs for a decade. Decades of touring, syndication residuals, voice royalties, book deals, and streaming specials all contribute to his estimated $10 million net worth.
#5 – Mark Duplass | ~$12 Million
Season 2 Contestant | Actor, Director, Producer, Screenwriter
Mark Duplass built his wealth by doing things his own way. He co-founded Duplass Brothers Productions with his brother Jay back in 1996 and became one of the defining voices of the mumblecore film movement, with breakout titles like The Puffy Chair (2005) and Cyrus (2010). On TV, he starred as Pete Eckhart in FX’s The League for six seasons and co-created HBO’s Togetherness. His Primetime Emmy win in 2020 for The Morning Show on Apple TV+ signalled a shift into prestige television territory. Operating simultaneously as an actor, director, producer, and writer across indie film and premium streaming has steadily built his $12 million fortune.
#4 – Mira Sorvino | ~$16 Million
Season 2 Contestant | Actress, Producer, Human Rights Activist
Mira Sorvino brings genuine Hollywood pedigree to the podium. A Harvard magna cum laude graduate fluent in Mandarin Chinese, she won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for her performance in Woody Allen’s Mighty Aphrodite (1995) and followed it with memorable roles in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Mimic, and Summer of Sam. She also earned an Emmy nomination for playing Marilyn Monroe in HBO’s Norma Jean & Marilyn. Away from acting, she served as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking from 2009 to 2012. Her $16 million net worth comes from decades of acting, producing, and smart real estate investments.
#3 – Macaulay Culkin | ~$25 Million
Season 2 Contestant | Actor, Voice Actor, Entrepreneur
It’s hard to think of a bigger childhood box office phenomenon than Macaulay Culkin. Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992) made him a global superstar, and he reportedly walked away from those two films with around $20 million combined, including a base salary of $4.5 million, 5% of net profits, and 15% of merchandising revenue. By age 14, his accumulated fortune was estimated at over $38 million. After a long and very public hiatus from Hollywood, he made an acclaimed comeback through The Righteous Gemstones on HBO and a voice role in Zootopia 2 (2025). In early 2025, he sold his New York City loft for $7.75 million. His current net worth sits at approximately $25 million.
#2 – Cynthia Nixon | ~$25–30 Million
Season 2 Contestant | Actress, Activist, Political Candidate
Cynthia Nixon has built one of the most varied careers of anyone on this list. As Miranda Hobbes in HBO’s Sex and the City (1998–2004) and its sequel series And Just Like That… (2021–present), she became one of the most recognisable faces in prestige television, reportedly earning around $325,000 per episode during the original show’s later seasons. On Broadway, she took home the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for Rabbit Hole in 2006. In 2018, she ran for Governor of New York in the Democratic primary. More than four decades of premium television, film, theatre, and ongoing Sex and the City syndication income has landed her an estimated net worth of $25 to $30 million.
#1 – Ray Romano | $200 Million
Season 1 Contestant | Actor, Comedian, Writer, Producer, Voice Actor
And then there’s Ray Romano, who is in a completely different financial league from everyone else on this list. His $200 million net worth is the direct result of Everybody Loves Raymond (CBS, 1996–2005), one of the most commercially successful sitcoms in television history. At the show’s peak, he was the highest-paid actor on television, earning $800,000 per episode in Seasons 5 through 7. That figure climbed to $1.75 million per episode by the final two seasons, which works out to roughly $40 million in Season 8 alone. His final-season rate of $1.94 million per episode set a Guinness World Record, equivalent to approximately $3.2 million per episode in today’s money. He also negotiated backend syndication points that have paid out passively for over two decades from a show that generated an estimated $3.9 billion in total revenue. Beyond Raymond, he voiced Manny in the Ice Age franchise, appeared in Scorsese’s The Irishman (2019), and recently starred opposite Lisa Kudrow in Netflix’s No Good Deed. His real estate holdings include a $10 million-plus Encino mansion and a $25 million-plus oceanfront property in Malibu. Nobody on that stage is touching him financially.
