Only two cast-member wealth estimates are supported by the available named sources: Celebrity Net Worth estimates Tom Hanks’s net worth at $400 million and Michael Clarke Duncan’s at $8 million at the time of his death in 2012. Those figures are not a complete cast ranking, and they are not audited financial disclosures. Estimates for most of the principal ensemble remain unestablished here.
What a responsible ranking can—and cannot—show
The Green Mile is a 1999 Frank Darabont film adapted from Stephen King’s novel. Its principal cast includes Tom Hanks, David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Clarke Duncan, James Cromwell, Michael Jeter, Graham Greene, Doug Hutchison, Sam Rockwell, Barry Pepper, Jeffrey DeMunn, Patricia Clarkson, Harry Dean Stanton and Dabbs Greer. The cast extends beyond those performers, so any ranking also needs to define its scope. The film’s cast listing is available at Wikipedia.

For this limited comparison, Celebrity Net Worth supplies estimates for Hanks and Duncan, but not comparable figures for the rest of that principal ensemble. It would therefore be misleading to present a definitive order of the full cast or to fill gaps with unsupported values.
The two available estimates
| Actor | Role | Published estimate | What the figure means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tom Hanks | Paul Edgecomb | $400 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate of his net worth; its undated page was accessed in 2026. It is not an audited disclosure. Source |
| Michael Clarke Duncan | John Coffey | $8 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate of his net worth at his death in 2012—not a probate or audited estate valuation. Source |
The figures are not directly time-matched: Hanks’s is presented as an estimate on a page accessed in 2026, while Duncan’s is explicitly an estimate at death in 2012. Neither source supplies an audited balance sheet.

Why the film’s salary and box office do not rank the actors
Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Hanks received a $20 million salary for The Green Mile. A single film salary is earnings from one project, not a measurement of total assets minus liabilities, so it should not be added to or substituted for a net-worth estimate. Celebrity Net Worth’s Hanks page
The Numbers provides cast and financial information for the film, but a movie’s receipts likewise are not performers’ personal wealth. The Numbers: The Green Mile. Wikipedia reports a $60 million production budget and $286.8 million gross; those are film-level figures, and the page itself is not a preferred industry database for treating them as definitive. Wikipedia film article
What is known about Duncan’s career and the estimate’s timing
Duncan’s performance as John Coffey earned an Academy Award nomination for supporting actor, and he died in 2012 after complications from a heart attack, according to Biography.com. The $8 million figure remains Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate at the time of his death; the nomination and biographical record do not independently verify that valuation.

No comparable, named-source net-worth estimates are established here for David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell, Michael Jeter, Graham Greene, Doug Hutchison, Sam Rockwell, Barry Pepper, Jeffrey DeMunn, Patricia Clarkson, Harry Dean Stanton or Dabbs Greer. That absence is not evidence that they have no wealth or that they belong below either actor in a complete ranking; it means the available figures do not support ordering them.

- Miracles happen in unexpected places, even on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There John Coffey, a prisoner with supernatural powers, brings a sense of spirit and humanity to his guards and fellow inmates. Tom Hanks leads a stellar cast (including Michael Clarke Duncan as Coffey) in this emotional, uplifting story of guards and captives; husbands and wives; prisoners and a remarkable mous
