Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon helped turn Sex and the City into an HBO phenomenon after its 1998 premiere—and the cast’s estimated net worth is now part of a new ranking spotlighting the main players and popular recurring
Sex and the City didn’t just arrive on HBO in 1998—it caught fire. By the time the series wrapped after six seasons, it had become the kind of cultural TV moment that keeps pulling people back in, even for rewatches that feel almost nostalgic now.
The show starred Sarah Jessica Parker. Kim Cattrall. Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. with a parade of recurring guest talent that included the late Willie Garson. Kyle MacLachlan. John Corbett. Chris Noth. David Eigenberg. and many more. During its run, it racked up over 200 award nominations and landed 55 wins, including seven Emmy awards.
And it didn’t stop at television. Sex and the City spawned two movies. a prequel series called The Carrie Diaries. and the most recent sequel series. And Just Like That… With the franchise continuing to find viewers—streaming on both Netflix and Max—the focus has shifted from catchphrases and fashion moments to money: a new ranking pulls together the main cast and popular recurring guest stars and lines them up based on their estimated net worth.
The list spotlights familiar names across eras of the series. from Sarah Jessica Parker to Kim Cattrall. Kristin Davis. Cynthia Nixon. and beyond—along with recurring guest stars including John Corbett. Kyle MacLachlan. Chris Noth. David Eigenberg. Evan Handler. James Remar. Mario Cantone. Jason Lewis. and EG (E.G.) and others.
It’s a reminder that Sex and the City’s influence didn’t just live on-screen. Since the show premiered, its stars have gone on to do big things, from launching a shoe line to appearing in movies, plays and additional TV projects.
The ranking invites readers to click through and see who’s estimated to have the richest fortune in the cast—starting from the lowest net worth and moving up to the highest—turning the franchise’s afterlife into a numbers-driven story of who’s walked away with the biggest paycheck legacy.

Wait so they’re ranking net worth like it’s a fashion show? I don’t care who’s richest honestly.
I thought Kim Cattrall made more than Sarah Jessica Parker though? Like Carrie vs Samantha vibes, I always assumed Samantha was the winner money-wise. But then again the article says rankings start from lowest so… idk.
Willie Garson being on there got me sad. Also how are they even estimating net worth like that’s real math? People always say those numbers are made up. Plus “Evan Handler” sounds familiar but I’m not sure from the show.
This is why I hate celebrity stuff… like they “caught fire” in 1998 and now it’s about money?? I saw somewhere that Chris Noth is basically broke now, so I’m wondering if this ranking is fake or if he bounced back. Also Netflix and Max thing confuses me, like which one paid them more?
