A defensible full-cast net-worth ranking for The Green Mile is not available from the cited estimates. Celebrity Net Worth publishes figures for two cast members: a current estimate of $400 million for Tom Hanks and a historical estimate of $8 million for Michael Clarke Duncan at his death in 2012. Those numbers are not directly comparable, and they do not establish the wealth of the rest of the ensemble.
What can—and can’t—be ranked
The Green Mile is a 1999 Frank Darabont film adapted from Stephen King’s novel. Its principal ensemble includes Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell, Michael Jeter, Graham Greene, Doug Hutchison, Sam Rockwell, Barry Pepper, Jeffrey DeMunn, Patricia Clarkson, Harry Dean Stanton and Dabbs Greer. The film’s cast extends beyond these principal performers, so a ranking also depends on whom it includes. Wikipedia’s film article and The Numbers’ film listing provide cast and film information.

Of the named principal cast, the available publisher estimates support a limited comparison of Hanks and Duncan only. They do not support ordering the full cast by wealth. A complete list would require comparable, attributed estimates for the other performers; filling the gaps with unsourced numbers would create a misleading ranking.
The two published estimates
| Performer | Published figure | What it represents |
|---|---|---|
| Tom Hanks | $400 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate of Hanks’s net worth. The undated page was accessed in 2026; it is an estimate, not an audited disclosure. Celebrity Net Worth |
| Michael Clarke Duncan | $8 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate of Duncan’s net worth at the time of his death in 2012—not a probate record or audited estate valuation. The undated page was accessed in 2026. Celebrity Net Worth |
Because Duncan’s figure refers to 2012 and Hanks’s is presented as a current estimate, the figures describe different timeframes. They should not be treated as a like-for-like snapshot of the two actors’ finances.

Why the Green Mile salary is not net worth
Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Hanks was paid $20 million for The Green Mile. That is a reported salary for one film, not a separate estimate of his assets or net worth. A film paycheck cannot be substituted for net worth, which concerns a person’s overall financial position rather than one payment. Celebrity Net Worth’s Hanks page is the source for both figures.
Film earnings and cast wealth are different measures
The movie’s box-office performance does not reveal how much any cast member owns. The Numbers lists financial and cast information for the film, while Wikipedia’s film article reports a $60 million budget and $286.8 million gross. Those are film-level figures, not individual earnings or personal assets; the reported budget and gross should be verified against an industry database before being treated as definitive. The Numbers and Wikipedia provide the cited film context.
Michael Clarke Duncan’s career and the date behind his estimate
Duncan’s performance as John Coffey earned him an Academy Award nomination for supporting actor. Biography.com reports that he died in 2012 after complications from a heart attack. That date matters when reading the $8 million figure: it is a publisher’s estimate associated with the time of his death, not a current estimate for a living performer. Biography.com

A meaningful ranking would need named sources offering comparable figures for the same kind of measure and a clear timeframe. Estimates for David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell, Sam Rockwell, Barry Pepper and the other principal actors are not established by the sources cited here. Until comparable figures are available, the responsible answer is a partial comparison—not a numbered list that implies all the cast members have been assessed.
