Anthony Hopkins has the highest of the three The Silence of the Lambs cast net-worth estimates published by Celebrity Net Worth: $120 million. Jodie Foster is listed at $100 million, and Ted Levine at $6 million. These are third-party estimates, not verified financial disclosures, and they do not amount to a ranking of the entire cast.
Net-worth estimates for three cast members
The figures below are estimates attributed to Celebrity Net Worth. The estimate pages do not provide verified personal financial statements, and the available information does not establish when the figures were calculated. Treat them as that publisher’s estimates, not confirmed or definitive measures of current wealth.

| Rank among these estimates | Actor | Role in the film | Celebrity Net Worth estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anthony Hopkins | Dr. Hannibal Lecter | $120 million |
| 2 | Jodie Foster | Clarice Starling | $100 million |
| 3 | Ted Levine | Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb | $6 million |
Sources: Celebrity Net Worth’s Anthony Hopkins estimate, Jodie Foster estimate, and Ted Levine estimate. The order applies only to these three published estimates.
Why this is not a complete cast ranking
The film has a much larger cast than the three actors for whom these sources provide net-worth estimates. Rotten Tomatoes lists Foster as Clarice Starling, Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Scott Glenn as Jack Crawford, and Levine as Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb. The available figures do not support assigning a value to Glenn or other cast members, so they should not be ranked by guesswork. See the film’s cast and crew listing.

#1 Best Overall
The Library of Congress catalogs The Silence of the Lambs as a 1991 film and identifies it as based on Thomas Harris’s novel. That film history provides context, but neither a role’s prominence nor a movie’s performance establishes an actor’s personal net worth. The Library of Congress catalog record identifies Foster, Hopkins, and Glenn.
What the film’s awards do—and do not—show
At the 1992 Academy Awards, The Silence of the Lambs received seven nominations and won five, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Hopkins, Best Actress for Foster, and Adapted Screenplay. The Academy’s 1992 ceremony record confirms those results. They document the film’s recognition; they do not verify the actors’ finances or explain how the net-worth estimates were calculated.

How to read celebrity net-worth figures
A net-worth estimate is not the same as a public financial statement. The cited estimate pages do not establish a transparent, independently reproducible calculation, and the publication year for each estimate is not stated in the information available here. No second estimates publisher is cited for comparison.
For that reason, the figures are best understood as a snapshot of what one estimates publisher reports, without a confirmed calculation date—not as audited totals or a reliable measure of current assets and liabilities. Film salaries, box-office receipts, awards, and career visibility cannot by themselves establish personal net worth.
