The Richest 'Shrek' Stars, Ranked By Their Net Worth (There's a Tie for the Top Spot!)

Shrek premiered in 2001 and created a legacy that still exists in 2023. The first movie launched a mega-successful franchise fronted by some of the industry’s most beloved actors.

The animated series flipped traditional fairytales on their heads with an irreverent sense of humor and surprising twists and turns. The star-studded cast of industry heavyweights didn’t hurt, either.

Starring Mike Myers as the grumpy ogre with a heart of gold, Eddie Murphy as his sidekick and Cameron Diaz as the plucky love interest, it was a guaranteed success.

Believe it or not, Shrek premiered in theaters 22 years ago now. We decided to look back and revisit the cast to rank them based on their estimated net worth. There were quite a few ties, including two stars who came in at the top spot after amassing approximately $200 million a piece!
