Young and the Restless fans know that their show is constantly rated the best of the best, but did you realize that their paychecks often represent that, too? They are the wealthiest of the wealthiest, too, and that’s a big deal. There are so many stars in Genoa City with so much money they beat out all the highest earning actors on all the other soaps, and they won’t even make the list of top three wealthiest stars from this soap when we get down to it. That’s incredible, right? We have the top three most financially stable people on the show in terms of their net worth here for you. Is there anyone you didn’t think would make the list?
Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil
They actually tie with estimated net worths of more than $16 million. She’s been working since she was a child, and she has earned some serious bank for all her roles. She’s killed it on the show, and she’s been a model, an actress in other shows (since she was only six) and she’s also one of the first people to accomplish all that she’s accomplished in a minority standpoint. She’s got a lot to be proud of, and her staggering net worth is certainly one of those things. Her on-screen husband, Goddard, is also worth the same. When he was in Australia — where he was from — he was hugely famous and had roles in just about everything before he took a job in America. He’s made enough money over there that he doesn’t have to work here, but it might just be more fun for him to get to call himself a famous television star in two completely different countries. It’s awesome for him and all that he has done for himself.
Eric Braedon
He’s a man who has more than $25 million to his name, and he’s probably quite proud of that. He’s been here since 1980, which is no time since the show started so many years ago, and he’s been playing this role with everything he has ever since. He’s amazing, and we love him for it. But we also love that he is someone who will do what he can to make things work for the people in his life. He’s been doing this for a long time, but he’s also been working hard on other soaps, television shows, and more for a very long time. He’s been in movies such as “Titanic” and more, and there is nothing that he cannot do. He’s made it very clear to us that he is a man of exceptional talent, and we love that about him. He’s done well for himself, and that’s a huge thing. We love him, and we appreciate him, and we cannot wait to see more from him. But, for now, he is only the second most wealthy man on the show. He loses out to someone else, and that someone else might just surprise you.
Lauralee Bell
You know here as the young woman who plays Christine Blair, who always brings the drama and the heat to the show when she’s around. She’s been playing on the show since 1983 when she was given a very small role and the instructions to do well with it. She did well enough that she was given a contract only three years later despite what a small role she plays. Her net worth is significantly more than anyone else in the soap industry. She’s worth a staggering $200 million. However, that’s because she’s also got some famous parents. Her parents are Lee Phillip and William J. Bell, and we all know who they are. They are the creators of this show, and they are the people who make it happen on other soaps and shows, too. They are way famous for so many amazing reasons, and she gets a little bit of that to go with her own name. We love that she went to work for her parents despite the fact that she’s clearly been taken care of enough that it doesn’t matter if she’s working or not. It shows she has a strong ethic to her. And that’s nice.
