RICHARD THOMAS – EST. $8 MILLION

Before Richard even got into acting, he had already been quite well off—his parents were both performers with the New York City Ballet and also owned the New York School of Ballet. Instead of following in their footsteps, however, Richard chose theatre and made his Broadway debut at just seven years old! He has also appeared in daytime TV soaps, including As the World Turns.

His first major movie credit was in Winning alongside Paul Newman. He remains best known for his role as John-Boy Walton in The Waltons. For his performance, Richard was nominated for two Emmys, won one, and two Golden Globe Awards. Other notable projects he has worked on over the years include the original It miniseries and FX’s spy thriller program The Americans. To this day, the actor still frequently appears on TV, with his most recent acting gig in the NCIS: New Orleans series.
