These days, it often seems like virtually everyone dreams of becoming famous someday. With that in mind, it makes sense that so many people are interested in how rich celebrities become. For example, fans are interested in things like Selena Gomez’s real estate portfolio and if Ricky Gervais is one of the richest comedians.
When it comes to TV stars, there is a lot of interest in the fact that some of them have made at least $1 million per episode. Alternatively, even though the stars of The Rookie don’t make that kind of money, the show’s fans are interested in which of the show’s stars are the richest.
After debuting as a firefighter who became the main character’s love interest during the fourth season, Jenna Dewan became a series regular for the fifth season. Now, Dewan’s character is engaged to the main character, and it seems like she will be a big part of the show going forward. Before joining the cast of The Rookie, Dewan was best known as the star of Step Up and previously being married to Channing Tatum.
Thanks to Dewan’s acting career, and the divorce settlement she spent years fighting for, the actor is The Rookie’s richest cast member. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dewan has a $30 million fortune as of January 2024.
The Rookie’s main character from the start, Nathan Fillion’s John Nolan was the oldest rookie to join the LAPD. Arguably one of the most beloved television actors of the modern era, Fillion has starred in a long list of popular projects aside from The Rookie. Most notably, Fillion starred in Castle, Firefly and its spin-off movie Serenity. Fillion also has a lot of film credits, including roles in movies like Slither, Waitress, Super, Monsters University, The Suicide Squad, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Given how popular Fillion has been for decades, it is surprising that the actor isn’t richer. That said, Fillion is very wealthy, since Celebrity Net Worth reports he has a $20 million fortune.
When The Rookie began, Eric Winter’s character, Tim Bradford, was a no-nonsense training officer who was there to show rookies the ropes. Just like the next actor on this list, Winter also portrayed a second The Rookie character, his original character’s doppelgänger Jake “Dim” Butler. Before joining the cast of The Rookie, Winter had previously starred in hundreds of episodes of the soap opera, Days of Our Lives.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Winter’s years of television success have earned the actor a $14 million fortune.
When The Rookie made its premiere on ABC, Melissa O’Neil’s character, Lucy Chen, was a rookie police officer. On top of portraying Chen, O’Neil also began portraying her original character’s doppelgänger, Sava “Juicy” Wu as the show progressed. Before O’Neil was hired to join the cast of The Rookie, she had been building her name as a singer, and she even won a season of Canadian Idol. O’Neil has also appeared in movies like A Simple Favor and shows like Dark Matter and iZombie.
