Friends net worth ranked
1 of 61) Jennifer Aniston - £212million
Jennifer Aniston is the highest-earning Friends star with a jaw-dropping reported net worth of £212million. After playing Rachel Green, Jen went on to become a Hollywood star in films like Along Came Polly, We're The Millers and Marley and Me. She continues to bring home the big bucks in Apple TV show The Morning Show.
2 of 62) Courteney Cox - £106million
Although she comes in at second place, Courteney Cox's reported £106million fortune is definitely not to be sniffed at. As well as her role as Monica Geller, Courteney has raked it in from her roles in the Scream franchise and TV show Cougar Town. She also co-owns a production company with her ex-husband David Arquette.
3 of 63) Matthew Perry - £85million
Matthew Perry's reported £85million net worth makes him the highest-earning male actor from Friends. The Chandler Bing actor has worked as a writer, producer and actor in Hollywood for three decades and starred in the likes of The Whole Nine Yards, Fools Rush In and 17 Again.
4 of 64) David Schwimmer - £70million
David Schwimmer's acting career has reportedly made him £70million over the years. Outside of his role as Ross Geller, he's established himself as a theatre actor on Broadway and the West End and has starred in several film and TV projects including the voice of Melman the Giraffe in Madagascar.
5 of 65) Lisa Kudrow - £63million
Phoebe Buffay actress Lisa Kudrow has netted a reported £63million for her TV and film work, which includes roles in Hotel For Dogs, Easy A and The Girl On The Train. She also starred in and produced TV show The Comeback, for which she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
6 of 66) Matt Le Blanc - £56million
Unlike his character Joey Tribbiani, Matt Le Blanc has enjoyed a successful acting career including roles in Friends spin-off Joey and sitcom Episodes. This, as well as his presenting role on Top Gear, has earned him a reported £56million fortune.
When Friends began back in 1994, the cast started out earning £15,925 per episode although that had increased rather significantly to £708,175 by the time of the final season a decade later.
However, the cast’s biggest payday yet came from the recent reunion special which saw them take home a jaw-dropping seven-figure fee as AP reports that the six stars were paid £1.7million each.
WOWZERS.

The reunion special reminded us all why we fell in love with Friends in the first place as they cast re-enacted some of the show’s most iconic scenes in a table read, recreated the quiz that saw Monica and Rachel lose their apartment to Joey and Chandler (complete with a few guest stars) and sit down with host James Corden to dish some behind-the-scenes goss.
There was a major bombshell too as David Schwimmer revealed he and Jennifer Aniston had the hots for each other when the show first started. Imagine that, Ross and Rachel were almost an IRL couple.
David explained, “The first season I had a major crush on Jen and at some point we were both crushing on each other, but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary. We always respected that.”
Jennifer added, “I remember saying to David, ‘it’s going to be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is going to be on national television.’ Sure enough, first time we kissed was in that coffee shop. But we just channelled all our love and adoration for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
