Blue Bloods Season 14’s Premiere Changes Frank & aMayor Chase’s Friendship In A Big Way (PART 2)
11. Jack Wagner – $9.8 million
For fans who follow multiple soap operas, Jack Wagner’s is a face that shows up everywhere: He’s amassed a total of over 1,800 episodes across “Melrose Place,” “General Hospital,” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” and has also appeared in a number of Hallmark TV movies and series, including the long-running “When Calls the Heart.”
While definitely not a blameless character, Wagner’s Nick Marone was a fan favorite on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and fans were saddened when he left the show in 2012. However, his role on “General Hospital” as Frisco Jones remains the one he’s most closely identified with. As one half of the Frisco and Felicia supercouple, this character entranced audiences from 1984 to 1987, followed by a return stint in 1989-’91 and brief runs in 1994, 1995, and 2013. In a case of reality imitating art, he was married to his onscreen wife, Kristina Wagner, from 1993 to 2006.
Aside from his long and varied acting career, Wagner’s estimated $9.8 million net worth has also been boosted by his work as a musician. He has released multiple albums, and his signature hit, “All I Need,” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1985. In addition to acting and singing, Wagner is also a professional-level golfer. He won his first title in 1980, and took the crown in the American Century Celebrity Golf Classic in 2006. This win also earned him the spot as the “number one celebrity golfer” according to Golf Digest.
10. Charlotte Ross – $10 million
Charlotte Ross is best known for her portrayal of the character Eve Donovan in “Days of Our Lives” from 1987-1991. Since then, she has appeared in many other TV series, films, and TV movies, including long-term roles on “Beggars and Choosers” and “NYPD Blue”; more recent projects include roles and appearances on “Glee,” “Nashville,” and “Arrow.”
Aside from her acting talent, her passion for animals has also gotten her noticed — especially when she posed naked for PETA’s anti-fur campaign in 2022. (Speaking of shenanigans, she was also a hot topic when a partly bare shot of her “NYPD Blue” character nearly got ABC slapped with a pretty big fine.)
She was just 19 years old when she joined the cast of “Days of Our Lives,” but she quickly became a fan favorite and has appeared on our screens consistently from the ’80s well into the 2010s. Though she seems to have slowed down in recent years, you can follow her on Twitter to see her enjoying her estimated $10 million net worth, climbing mountains and sharing fitness tips alongside plenty of animal activism posts.
9. John Aniston – $10 million
If you think this name sounds familiar, that’s for very good reason. John Aniston is Jennifer Aniston’s father, and he’s been in the acting business for more than 50 years. His most famous role is as Victor Kiriakis on “Days of Our Lives,” which he began in 1985 and continues into the 2020s, amassing over 3,300 episodes. However, this is not his only role on “Days.” Aniston actually had a year-long stint as another character, Eric Richards, 15 years prior to his career-shaping role as Kiriakis.
Aniston was born on the Greek island of Crete and moved to the U.S. at just two years old. After serving in the U.S Navy, he became an actor on both the screen and stage, eventually landing his decades-spanning role in “Days of Our Lives.” Aniston’s other TV appearances include “Search for Tomorrow,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Gilmore Girls,” and “Mad Men.”
In 2015, Aniston added to his estimated $10 million net worth by selling his 4,466-square-foot home in Bell Canyon for $1.42 million. The grounds of the 1.52-acre property included waterfalls, a swimming pool, and mountain views. In June 2022, Aniston received the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award for his decades of work on “Days of Our Lives,” which his daughter Jennifer presented.
8. Deidre Hall – $12 million
Deidre Hall began her career with “Days of Our Lives” in 1976 when she was 29 years old. Although her time with the show is split into three separate runs, having once left of her own accord and once due to budget cuts, her role as Marlena Evans has endured for more than 45 years. She is also the only soap actor on this list to top 5,000 episodes.
Before this role, she had already appeared in another big soap as the regular character Barbara Anderson on “The Young and the Restless,” and also had a brief run on the medical drama “Emergency.” Hall is worth a reported $12 million, and remains a beloved fixture on the set of “Days of Our Lives.” In 2006, she contributed $8.5 million to this total by selling her 6,800-square-foot home in Bel Air.
The luxury home has an astonishing 11 bathrooms, an outdoor living room, swimming pool, formal dining room, and even a detached guesthouse. The building was designed and built in 1932 in the style of an English country home. It sounds like Deidre has enjoyed a much more peaceful life than her alter ego Marlene.
7. Daniel Goddard – $16.7 million
Daniel Goddard’s career has taken him all around the globe on several occasions, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The actor started out in Australia with a small role on the well-known Australian soap “Home and Away.” He then moved to the U.S., where he worked as a model for names such as Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana.
His stay in the U.S. didn’t last all that long initially, because he then proceeded to snag the lead role on the fantasy show “Beastmaster” and traveled back to Australia to film it. After three years and 66 episodes, Goddard headed back to L.A. to look for more work, and he found it in the form of his most well-known role. In 2007, he became a full-time member of the “Young and the Restless” crew, playing the mysterious swapped-at-birth Cane Ashby.
While his time on “The Young and the Restless” came to an end in 2019, he has plenty to keep him busy: He has been married since 2002 and has two children, and a favorite hobby of his is go-kart racing, which he does every week. between his acting and modeling work, Goddard has racked up an estimated $16.7 million net worth.
6. Josh Duhamel – $18 million
Josh Duhamel’s career encompasses not just soaps, but also huge blockbusters. He’s known internationally for his role in the huge “Transformers” franchise, but many in the U.S. will know him as Leo du Pres from “All My Children,” or Danny McCoy from “Las Vegas.”
His original run on “All My Children” began in 1999 and ended in 2002, but he returned for two special episodes in 2011. Duhamel has starred in a range of TV shows and films, but a lot of his recent work is in voice acting for animated shows and video games. His reported $18 million net worth has been built by his extensive career, with over 60 acting credits on IMDb.
From 2009-2019, Duhamel was married to Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, and after the breakup, he splashed a cool $2.65 million on a new home for himself. It might be referred to as a bachelor pad, but it’s certainly nothing to scoff at — it has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. With plenty of space for friends, barbecues, and pool parties, there’s no doubt that Duhamel enjoys himself here, but will he be looking for something new after marrying a former Miss World America?
