Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers are listed at $500,000 each, while Danny Lloyd is listed at $400,000. These are unverified publisher estimates—not financial disclosures—and the figures do not establish what any actor earned from the film.
Four published estimates, ranked
This is a provisional ranking of four cast members for whom Celebrity Net Worth publishes figures, not a ranking of the entire cast. The amounts are estimates, not confirmed assets, and they are not directly comparable: two are estimates at death, while the other two are presented as current estimates.

How reliable is the ranking?
It is useful as a snapshot of what one celebrity-wealth publisher reports, but not as a definitive measure of the cast’s finances. No audited personal-finance disclosure or authoritative public registry establishes these performers’ net worth. A net-worth estimate also does not tell readers how much wealth is liquid, how it was calculated, or what portion—if any—came from a particular film.
#1 Best Overall
- In Poland, the cover may contain Polish text/markings. The disc has English audio.
Duvall’s figure is especially uncertain: The Independent reported estimates across celebrity-tracking sites from about $500,000 to $5 million. That spread is too wide to treat her exact position relative to Crothers as settled. The tie in the table reflects the amount listed by Celebrity Net Worth, not proof that their finances were equal.
Why this is not a full-cast ranking
The Shining has a substantially larger credited cast. The British Film Institute lists, among others, Barry Nelson as Stuart Ullman, Philip Stone as Delbert Grady, and Joe Turkel as Lloyd, as well as Nicholson, Duvall, Lloyd, and Crothers. The available figures here cover only four performers, so assigning ranks to the remaining cast would require unsupported estimates.
Rank #2
The film is Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s story, released in the United States on May 23, 1980. King’s official film page identifies the principal roles and credits Kubrick as director and writer; the BFI identifies the production as American-British and lists a 144-minute extended version. Stephen King’s official page for The Shining and the BFI programme notes provide film and cast context.
Net worth is not the same as earnings from The Shining
The figures above are career-wide wealth estimates, not reported salaries, residuals, or profits from The Shining. They cannot show what a performer was paid for the film or how its success affected an individual’s finances. For historical context, AFI cites a 1980 New York Times report that the film opened in ten theaters and grossed $626,052 in its first four days; AFI separately notes a contemporaneous Hollywood Reporter report of $1 million by the end of its first week. Those are period press reports with different time windows, not present-day box-office totals. AFI Catalog’s The Shining entry.

Where to find the film
For viewers looking to revisit the movie, Stephen King’s official page lists DVD, VHS, and Blu-ray formats, including a special-edition DVD. That establishes the formats listed on the page, not current stock, a particular retailer’s edition, or streaming availability. Stephen King’s official film page.
