The excerpted ranking does not identify that person, so the available figures support only a partial comparison—not a complete, verified cast ranking.
What the published estimates say
Just Jared’s December 6, 2024 roundup reports these named estimates in the ranking excerpts available:

| 2 |
|
Elf (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) | $16.44 | Buy on Amazon |

|---|---|---|
| Mary Steenburgen | Emily Hobbs | $80 million |
| Bob Newhart | Papa Elf | $65 million |
| Zooey Deschanel | Jovie | $25 million |
The same roundup’s introduction says its highest estimate is $160 million, but the surfaced introduction does not name the person. It would be misleading to assign that figure to a particular actor or to present the three named entries as a complete ranking.
How to read net-worth roundups
These are Just Jared’s published estimates, not verified disclosures of the actors’ personal finances. The reviewed material does not provide a transparent calculation method or primary financial records. Net worth is generally a measure of assets minus liabilities; a public estimate that does not document its inputs cannot establish either an exact amount or a precise rank.

Accordingly, the figures should be read as rounded estimates attributed to the publication and dated 2024—not as confirmed account balances, earnings from Elf, or a direct comparison of the cast’s film salaries. The available source material does not establish an independent methodology against which to validate the amounts.
Which film and cast are covered?
This ranking concerns the cast of Elf, Jon Favreau’s 2003 comedy written by David Berenbaum. The story follows Buddy, a human raised among Santa’s elves, as he travels to New York to find his biological father. Its cast includes Will Ferrell as Buddy, James Caan as Walter Hobbs, Bob Newhart as Papa Elf, Zooey Deschanel as Jovie, Mary Steenburgen as Emily Hobbs, Ed Asner as Santa, and Peter Dinklage as Miles Finch.
Rank #2
- Elf [United States] [Blu-ray]
- Product type: PHYSICAL_MOVIE
- Brand: Glattol
Just Jared’s $160 million top estimate is not enough, by itself, to identify the highest-ranked actor. The named estimates above are the entries supported by the surfaced ranking material; no other cast member’s amount or position is established here.

For viewers revisiting the film, The Numbers records a New Line Home Video release on November 16, 2004. That is historical release information, not confirmation that a DVD is currently available from a particular retailer.
