Published estimates put David Caruso’s net worth at $20 million, Jimmy Smits’s at $15 million, and Kim Delaney’s at $4 million—but these are entertainment-publisher estimates, not verified financial disclosures. The available figures cover only three performers, not the full NYPD Blue cast, and the publishers do not disclose a shared method that would make the numbers directly comparable.
Published estimates for three NYPD Blue stars
The figures below are claims published by entertainment outlets. They are not confirmed measures of the actors’ assets minus liabilities, and the sources do not provide a common valuation date or calculation method.

Caruso played Detective John Kelly, Smits played Bobby Simone, and Delaney joined the series in its second season as Diane Russell. The CBS Entertainment biography confirms Smits’s role and summarizes his broader television and film career. Their roles provide context for why these performers appear in coverage of the show; they do not validate any wealth estimate.
Why the numbers are not a reliable cast ranking
Neither outlet’s figures are presented as audited financial statements or as calculations based on disclosed assets and debts. The available sources do not establish a shared method, comparable valuation dates, or an independent verification process. A matching estimate from two sites for Delaney does not, by itself, establish that either number is accurate.

Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Caruso earned $375,000 per episode. That is a salary claim from the same publisher, not a separate net-worth figure or proof of his current finances. Career pay cannot be treated as present wealth without information about taxes, expenses, investments, other income, and liabilities.

Dennis Franz
Dennis Franz is associated with Detective Andy Sipowicz. Celebrity Net Worth’s page says his appearance in the 2005 series finale was his last television appearance before retirement, but the usable page excerpt does not establish a net-worth estimate. No figure is included here rather than filling the gap with an unsupported number.
Rank #2
- Factory sealed DVD
The rest of the ensemble
The available estimates do not cover the full cast. They therefore cannot support a complete cast-by-cast wealth list or a dependable ordering of the ensemble by personal wealth. The figures are best read as dated publisher estimates for three performers, not as a verified league table.

How to read celebrity net-worth estimates
- Check who published the number: an entertainment website’s estimate is not equivalent to a public financial disclosure.
- Look for a method: without explained assets, liabilities, and valuation dates, readers cannot assess how a figure was calculated.
- Keep salary separate: reported episode pay is an earnings claim, not a measurement of current net worth.
- Compare cautiously: figures from different publishers—or repeated by more than one site—are not necessarily independent or comparable estimates.
