'Succession' Cast's Net Worth and Pay Per Episode, Ranked
While no one is as rich as the Roys (other than, like, the Murdochs), the cast of Succession is wealthy enough to buy several ludicrously capacious bags—and the time has come to dive into their net worths. Which are honestly kinda all over the place due to (1) everyone getting paid vastly different amounts of money over the years, and (2) some of the cast's careers being longer and more financially lucrative than others. But before we get into a ranking of which Roy has the most IRL money, first thing's first....
How Much Does the Succession Cast Makes Per Episode?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast was making under $100,000 per episode when Succession started but re-negotiated their salaries ahead of season 3 (and did so separately instead of banding together like some ensemble casts before them).
That said, Jeremy Strong (Kendall Roy), Sarah Snook (Siobhan Roy), Kieran Culkin (Roman Roy), Alan Ruck (Connor Roy), Matthew Macfadyen (Tom Wambsgans), and Nicholas Braun (Cousin Greg) all ended up negotiating basically the same amount: $300,000 to $350,000 per episode.
Meanwhile, Brian Cox landed a "bigger figure" than his on-screen kids, which...yeah makes sense. According to Deadline, Brian renegotiated his salary to $400,000-$500,000 per episode.
Now that we have that in mind, here's the core cast ranked by net worth:
1.Brian Cox

Net Worth: $15 Million
A lot of that is definitely his huge Succession salary (Brian made ~$5 million for season 3 alone), but he's also had an extremely prolific career with hundreds of credits to his name. Not shocking that he's a multi-multi millionaire!
2. Alan Ruck

Net Worth: $12 million
I know right? Bet you weren't expecting Alan to be the Roy sibling with the biggest net worth IRL, but here we are! On top of the millions he's made for Succession, Alan starred in Spin City and happens to have been in one of the most iconic movies of all time: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (not to mention Speed, Star Trek Generations, and Twister). Also we cannot forget that he was in Bunheads, which is where I assume most of his millions came from.
3. Jeremy Strong

Net Worth: $6 million
Aside from the millions he's made in the final two seasons of Succession, Jeremy's also been in plenty of big movies like Zero Dark Thirty, Selma, and The Big Short. Those paychecks. They add up.
4. Matthew Macfadyen

Net Worth: $5 million
Frankly, Matthew Macfadyen should be making millions in risiduals for his angsty hand-acting in Pride and Prejudice alone, but judging from his net worth it looks like most of his money came from the Roys (aka HBO).
Also 4. Kieran Culkin

Net Worth: $5 million
Kiernan has been acting since he was a kid (She's All That, anyone?) but—like Matthew–it looks like the bulk of his net worth is a result of Succession. Again, he made about $1 million total per season for the first two seasons, and $3.5 million per season for the following two! That amounts to $9 million total (but remember: taxes + overhead are a thing).
5.Sarah Snook

Net Worth: $4 million
Sarah's been acting for a while, but Succession is her first major major role—hence the fact that her net worth is slightly lower than her on-screen sibs.
Also 5. Nicholas Braun

Net Worth: $4 million
Pretty much ditto to those notes about Sarah: This is Nicholas' first major role with major face recognition, so the bulk of his assets are Succession-related.
On that note:
