Among the three actors with published figures in Celebrity Net Worth’s listings, Anthony Hopkins ranks first at an estimated $120 million, followed by Jodie Foster at $100 million and Ted Levine at $6 million. These are third-party estimates, not verified statements of personal wealth, and they do not amount to a ranking of the film’s entire cast.
Net worth estimates for three cast members
The figures below are estimates attributed to Celebrity Net Worth. The estimate pages do not state a publication year in the available listings, and they do not provide verified personal financial statements or a transparent, independently reproducible calculation. Treat the ordering as a comparison of that publisher’s figures—not as a definitive measure of anyone’s actual wealth.

| Rank among these estimates | Actor | Role in the film | Celebrity Net Worth estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anthony Hopkins | Dr. Hannibal Lecter | $120 million (Celebrity Net Worth estimate; estimate-page publication year not stated) |
| 2 | Jodie Foster | Clarice Starling | $100 million (Celebrity Net Worth estimate; estimate-page publication year not stated) |
| 3 | Ted Levine | Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb | $6 million (Celebrity Net Worth estimate; estimate-page publication year not stated) |
The cast roles are listed by Rotten Tomatoes. These are the only named net-worth figures available here, so the ranking is limited to these three actors.
Why this is not a complete cast ranking
The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 film based on Thomas Harris’s novel; the Library of Congress catalog identifies Foster, Hopkins and Scott Glenn among its cast. The available estimates do not include a comparable figure for every performer, including Glenn. Without figures from a consistent source for the wider cast, ordering the entire ensemble would require guesswork.

Nor can salaries, box-office receipts, awards or an actor’s prominence establish personal net worth. Those measures do not show an individual’s assets, debts, taxes or other financial circumstances, so they cannot fill the gaps in this limited comparison.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences records seven nominations and five wins for the film at its 1992 ceremony, including Best Actor for Hopkins and Best Actress for Foster. Its other wins were Best Picture, Best Director and Adapted Screenplay. Those honors document the film’s reception; they do not verify either actor’s finances.
