How I Met Your Mother, created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays for CBS, ran from 2005 to 2014. The show starred Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, and Alyson Hannigan, and follows the story of Ted Mosby, in the year 2030, who narrates to his uninterested children the story of how he met their mother as he recounts memories about his and his friends’ lives in Manhattan, New York, from the year 2005 to 2013. The show was nominated for 30 Emmy Awards and won 10. With its successful run, the show catapulted the careers of most of its cast members. Here are the three richest cast members of HIMYM.
Alyson Hannigan ($40 million)
Alyson Hannigan played wide-eyed, gossip-loving Lily Aldrin in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hannigan has a net worth of around $40 million. At the height of How I Met Your Mother‘s popularity, Alyson and her co-stars reportedly earned $225,000 per episode, roughly $5.4 million per season. When the sitcom ended in 2014, Hannigan shared her thoughts about the possibility of a reunion in an interview with E! Online. “Honestly, when I read the last episode script, I was sort of sad because I felt like there was no chance of a reunion because they kind of gave away all the cards,” she shared. “They sort of showed everything. I was like, ‘Wait, you guys, now we won’t get to do a reunion because you’re telling the future and telling the stories of what we’re all gonna do.'” The majority of Hannigan’s fortune comes from her role as Lily in HIMYM, but before joining the sitcom, she was already playing major roles on TV and in movies. She played the role of Willow Rosenberg in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which ran from 1997-2003, and starred in the sex comedy film American Pie.

In 2017, Los Angeles Times reported that Hannigan and her husband Alexis Denisof sold their Brentwood property for $8.156 million. At that same time, they paid $8 million for a mansion on the hills of Encino. The said property was rented to the NBC drama series This Is Us for its final season. She was reportedly seen last September relocating her family’s belongings and furniture to a smaller property in Los Angeles, according to Daily Mail UK, to give way for the hit drama series.

It was this really amazing cast before we really knew anything. I mean, a few of us had done some little jobs here and there but this is where we really cut our teeth.” Segel also appeared in several films such as Knocked Up, Slackers, and I Love You, Man.
