Shrek cast – As Shrek 5 arrives later this year, a new ranking revisits the franchise’s biggest stars—Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas—through their estimated net worth, including a tie for the top spot at roughly $200 million each.
For a franchise that first hit theaters in 2001 and has kept going for more than two decades, the story of Shrek still has new chapters—starting with what’s coming next.
A new movie is planned for 2026, and Shrek 5 is set to arrive later this year. That makes the timing perfect for a fresh look back at the cast that helped turn an irreverent, twist-filled fairytale spoof into a mega-successful global phenomenon.
The original Shrek premiered in 2001, starring Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas. Together, they became the face of the animated series’ appeal: it flipped traditional fairytales on their heads with humor that leaned bold, and with surprises that kept the ride moving.
As attention shifts forward to Shrek 5, the cast is now being revisited through one lens—estimated net worth. And the numbers don’t fall in a straight line. There were multiple ties, including two stars who came in at the top spot after amassing approximately $200 million a piece.
The franchise’s next phase might be the talk of the moment, but the economics of its biggest names are now part of the conversation too—underscoring how the industry’s most recognizable heavyweights built lasting value alongside lasting popularity.

So Shrek 5 is coming AND they’re all rich-rich?? lol makes sense I guess.
Wait I thought Eddie Murphy’s like, always broke? Or is that just his taxes or something? Also Cameron Diaz in Shrek?? I barely remember her voice.
Mike Myers net worth $200 million but he did like everything except good movies after… so that tracks? Not sure how they’re even estimating this stuff. Feels like random number generator.
Shrek started in 2001 right, so how are they doing math for 2026 like it’s already happened? Also I saw somewhere that Antonio Banderas doesn’t even do voices like that anymore. But yeah $200 million tie top spot or whatever… who cares, I just want Fiona and Donkey back.
