A 2021 ranking put Jennifer Aniston first among the six principal Friends actors, but the figures are dated media estimates—not verified personal financial statements.

Jennifer Aniston topped a 2021 published ranking of the six principal Friends actors, with an estimated net worth of $300 million. The figures are media estimates, not audited disclosures, and later online rankings differ—so this is a dated comparison, not a definitive account of what each actor is worth today.

The six principal cast members, ranked by the 2021 estimates

The Independent published these estimated net-worth figures in 2021. They compare estimates from one publisher and one year; they should not be read as verified personal balance sheets.

Rank Actor Estimated net worth
1 Jennifer Aniston $300 million
2 Courteney Cox $150 million
3 Matthew Perry $120 million
4 David Schwimmer $100 million
5 Lisa Kudrow $90 million
6 Matt LeBlanc $80 million

Source: The Independent, 2021. “Friends cast” here means the six principal actors: Aniston, Cox, Perry, Schwimmer, Kudrow and LeBlanc.

Why these figures are estimates, not a current wealth statement

Net worth is the value of a person’s assets minus liabilities. Reported pay from a television series or income from its reruns can inform a discussion of earnings, but neither reveals a person’s full assets, debts, taxes, spending or investments. The cited ranking does not provide audited financial statements or a method for independently verifying each total.

Other publishers offer different estimates. Celebrity Net Worth’s Friends salary and royalty article lists Aniston at $300 million, Cox at $150 million, Kudrow at $90 million and LeBlanc at $80 million. A later DocumentaryTube ranking estimates Aniston’s net worth at $320 million. These are publisher estimates, not independently verified statements. Mixing figures from different publishers and dates would create a ranking that no single source actually reported.

Friends revenue and residuals are not the same as personal net worth

Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Friends has generated $5.55 billion in total revenue across syndication, international licensing and streaming. That is an estimate of revenue associated with the series—not the cast’s combined wealth or the amount paid to any individual actor.

In an April 2026 report, The Daily Beast attributed an approximately $20 million annual residual-payment figure to Kudrow and said the other surviving principal actors earned similar residuals. This is reported residual income, not a verified current payment record and not a net-worth figure. Matthew Perry died in 2023; the report should not be taken to mean that he currently receives personal residual payments. The Associated Press report on Perry’s death identifies his five surviving costars.
