Among the four The Shining cast members with sourced estimates here, Jack Nicholson ranks first by a wide margin. Celebrity Net Worth estimates his wealth at $400 million; its figures for Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers are $500,000 each at death, and its estimate for Danny Lloyd is $400,000. These are publisher estimates—not audited disclosures—and do not establish a complete ranking of the film’s cast.
How the estimates rank
The figures below come from Celebrity Net Worth. The order is only a comparison of those four published estimates, not a verified measure of the actors’ assets or a ranking of everyone credited in the film.

Celebrity Net Worth says its figures are estimates unless otherwise indicated. The reported amounts do not show how much of anyone’s wealth was liquid, and they cannot be treated as earnings from The Shining. They are career-long wealth estimates, not film-pay figures. Nicholson’s listed estimate is far above the other three, but the lower positions are less certain: Duvall’s estimate varies substantially across celebrity-tracking sites, and two of the figures are explicitly estimates at death.
What was Shelley Duvall’s net worth?
There is no established public figure for Duvall’s net worth. Celebrity Net Worth puts its estimate at $500,000 at the time of her death, while The Independent reported estimates across celebrity sites ranging from about $500,000 to $5 million. That spread is a reason to report the source and uncertainty rather than state one amount as settled fact.

Why this is not a full-cast ranking
The Shining is Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film, adapted from Stephen King’s story and released in the United States on May 23, 1980. Its credited cast extends well beyond the four performers in the estimate table. The BFI cast list, for example, includes Barry Nelson as Stuart Ullman, Philip Stone as Delbert Grady, and Joe Turkel as Lloyd, as well as Nicholson, Duvall, Lloyd, and Crothers. Comparable estimates were not established here for all credited actors, so ranking the entire cast would imply evidence that these figures do not provide.
The difference in estimate status matters, too. Nicholson and Lloyd are presented with estimates on their profiles, while Duvall’s and Crothers’ amounts are at-death estimates. Those are not like-for-like snapshots of current personal wealth. For context on the film itself, Stephen King’s official film page identifies Kubrick as writer and director and Warner Bros. Pictures as producer and distributor.
Rank #2
What the numbers do—and do not—tell you
- They are not audited disclosures. The cited amounts come from a celebrity-estimate publisher, not public financial statements.
- They are not salaries or royalties from the film. The estimates describe purported overall wealth, not compensation for a particular role.
- They do not settle Duvall’s amount. The range reported by The Independent makes precision especially misleading for her.
- They do not cover the whole cast. A four-person comparison should not be presented as a definitive ranking of every performer in the credits.
Where to find the film
For readers looking for a physical copy, Stephen King’s official page lists The Shining in DVD formats, including a special-edition DVD, and on Blu-ray. It confirms those formats but does not verify current retailer stock or a specific Amazon edition: Stephen King’s official page for the film.
