These are third-party estimates, not verified disclosures or audited accounts, and they support only a limited comparison—not a ranking of the full cast.
How the available estimates compare
The figures below are estimates published by Celebrity Net Worth. They are not official financial statistics, and the source does not provide an audited accounting of either actor’s assets and liabilities.

| Actor | Role on 24 | Published estimate | What the figure represents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kiefer Sutherland | Jack Bauer | $100 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s individual net-worth estimate, accessed in 2026. Source |
| Dennis Haysbert | David Palmer | $20 million | Celebrity Net Worth’s individual net-worth estimate, accessed in 2026. Source |
On those two estimates, Sutherland’s is five times Haysbert’s. That comparison describes what the publisher estimates; it does not establish either actor’s actual wealth or the size of the difference in their finances.
Why this is not a full cast ranking
24 changed its cast across story arcs. Radio Times identifies Sutherland as Jack Bauer, Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O’Brian, Carlos Bernard as Tony Almeida, Haysbert as David Palmer, and Elisha Cuthbert as Kim Bauer, while noting the cast changed over the series. Radio Times’ series guide provides cast context, but not comparable financial estimates for the ensemble.

A ranking of “the cast” therefore depends on who counts: regulars from a particular season, recurring actors across the series, or guest performers. The two individual estimates above do not provide a defined cast boundary or enough comparable figures to rank every cast member.
Why Elisha Cuthbert’s figure is not ranked individually
Celebrity Net Worth lists $30 million for Elisha Cuthbert, but its page says the amount is combined with her husband Dion Phaneuf. The figure is therefore a household estimate, not a comparable estimate of Cuthbert’s individual net worth, and it should not be placed alongside Sutherland and Haysbert as though it were one. Celebrity Net Worth’s Cuthbert profile was updated July 29, 2026.

What net-worth estimates do—and do not—show
A net-worth estimate is not interchangeable with a salary, a contract’s reported value, or proceeds from a property sale. Celebrity Net Worth’s Sutherland profile also describes a reported $40 million contract value for his three-season 24 extension. That contract value is not a net-worth figure and does not, by itself, show how much he retained or what his total assets and liabilities were.
No audited or actor-disclosed net-worth figures were established for this comparison. The estimates should be read as publisher assessments, not as verified personal balance sheets or an authoritative statistic for the show’s cast.
