The cast of 'Grey's Anatomy' ranked by net worth

75756A5E-120A-4932-810C-2FD980DB785E
By RADIO.COM Staff

The long-running “Grey’s Anatomy” has been a staple on American TVs since 2005, earning huge platforms, and paychecks, for its stars along the way.

Shonda Rhimes has piloted the series through its many twists and turns, but stars like Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, and Sandra Oh have earned quite a bit for their work too.

After popping up in season 2, Owen Hunt eventually stuck around as a main character starting in season 4. McKidd has had a broad career beyond “Grey’s,” including roles in films like “Trainspotting” and “Percy Jackson.” He has directed a number of “Grey’s anatomy” episodes as well.

Sara Ramirez

9 Sara Ramirez (Callie Torres): $5 Million

Ramirez held down the role of Callie Torres from season 2 through 12, building up a significant money pot in that time. They went on to star on a few other shows, like “Madam Secretary” and the animated show “Sofia the First.”

Chandra Wilson

8 Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey): $10 Million

Wilson has starred on “Grey’s” since season 1, won a Golden Globe for her work, and directed many episodes on the show as well. For all that she has netted $10 million.

Jesse Williams

7 Jesse Williams (Jackson Avery): $12 Million

Williams plays the wealthy Jackson Avery with ease, given the actor knows what it’s like to have money. He has acted across media, from film to theatre to Rihanna’s music video for “Russian Roulette,” and even done some modeling for brands like Levi’s and Tommy Hilfiger.

James Pickens, Jr.

6 James Pickens, Jr. (Richard Webber): $13 million

Pickens, Jr. has combined income from a number of major TV shows, including “X-Files” and “Roseanne,” but it’s his consistent role on “Grey’s” as Richard Webber that has helped the actor rack up $13 million.

Justin Chambers

5 Justin Chambers (Alex Karev): $18 million

Before his exit in season 15, Justin Chambers was making $375,000 per episode as Alex Karev, a role for which he earned several nominations at the People's Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Jessica Capshaw

4 Jessica Capshaw (Arizona Robbins): $20 million

She may have only been on “Grey’s” from season 5 until 14, but Capshaw made an impression on fans, on Sara Ramirez’s character Callie Torres, and on her checkbook.

Sandra Oh

3 Sandra Oh (Cristina Yang): $25 million

Cristina Yang was a fan favorite during Oh’s 10-season run. Even if her character went off to live in Switzerland, Oh stayed front of mind for viewers with her award-winning starring role on “Killing Eve.”

Patrick Dempsey

2 Patrick Dempsey (Derek Shepherd): $80 million

Dempsey was a rock on “Grey’s” for 10 years starting with season 1 way back in 2005 until his eventual departure in 2015 (until a cameo on the season 17 premiere in 2020). For all that time, McDreamy worked up $80 million in total net worth.

Ellen Pompeo

1 Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey): $80 million

It’s only fitting that Pompeo tops the list as the eponymous star, but she also outperforms many of her peers across media, notching a place for herself on Forbes’ list of top-paid actresses in 2019. According to StyleCaster, she even pulls down more than Dempsey did per episode before his departure.
