The closest defensible list is Backstage’s November 18, 2024 ranking by estimated net worth—a measure of total wealth, not salary or earnings from voice work alone. Its entries include creators and performers whose careers span writing, producing, on-camera acting and business interests as well as voice acting.
Backstage’s 10 highest estimated net worths
Backstage’s list attributes its estimates to Celebrity Net Worth. The figures below are publication-specific estimates from 2024, not independently verified totals or a ranking of voice-acting pay. [Backstage, November 18, 2024]
| Rank | Performer | Estimated net worth | Associated work cited by Backstage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Matt Stone | $700 million | South Park |
| 2 | Trey Parker | $600 million | South Park |
| 3 | Seth MacFarlane | $300 million | Family Guy and American Dad! |
| 4 | Hank Azaria | $90 million | The Simpsons |
| 5 | Julie Kavner | $90 million | The Simpsons |
| 6 | Dan Castellaneta | $85 million | The Simpsons |
| 7 | Harry Shearer | $85 million | The Simpsons |
| 8 | Yeardley Smith | $85 million | The Simpsons |
| 9 | Mike Judge | $80 million | King of the Hill |
| 10 | Nancy Cartwright | $60 million | The Simpsons |
Are these salaries or voice-acting earnings?
No. Net worth estimates attempt to represent a person’s accumulated assets minus liabilities; they do not show annual income. Nor do they identify how much wealth came specifically from voice performances. For people who create, write, produce or act on camera in addition to voicing characters, a total-wealth estimate cannot isolate the voice-acting portion.
The figures also should not be treated as settled facts. A later article from TheShot, published September 5, 2025, gives substantially different estimates for some of the same performers, including billionaire-level estimates for Parker and Stone. The disagreement illustrates that celebrity-wealth publications use estimates that can vary; it does not establish a definitive updated ranking. [TheShot, September 5, 2025]

Annual actor rankings use a different measure
Forbes’s 2025 highest-paid actors ranking estimates film and television earnings over a calendar year, using interviews and data sources. It is not a voice-actor-only ranking and does not verify annual earnings for the people in Backstage’s list. [Forbes, 2025]

Before comparing two lists, check what each one actually measures: annual income or estimated net worth; voice-only pay or total earnings and assets; and documented figures or publication estimates. These categories are not interchangeable. The available rankings do not provide directly comparable, independently verified annual voice-acting earnings for the ten performers.
