Even with major flaws in Sex and the City, fans still can't over its impact on pop culture. And this feeling seems to live on almost 30 years after it debuted on HBO. Fortunately for those who don't have HBO, viewers can relive the iconic show (or see it for the very first time) on Netflix. This is because Sex and the City debuted on the streaming service in April 2024.
While Warner Bros. Discovery reached the deal with Netflix, it is currently unknown as to whether the cast of Sex and the City financially benefited. Even if they earned nothing, the cast of Sex and the City have earned a fortune over the years. This article will rank the cast of HBO's Sex and the City from lowest to highest net worth.
There's no doubt that David Eigenberg benefited from his 41 episodes playing Miranda's boyfriend turned-husband in the original Sex and the City show, the two Sex and the City movies, and the HBO Max sequel series, And Just Like That. Eigenberg is by far best known for his role in the Sex and the City franchise, so it's safe to say that the majority of his $6 million net worth comes from that. However, it is also beloved from the One Chicago franchise, where he played Christopher Herrmann. This includes major appearances in Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice.
However, Celebrity Net Worth also lists a number of other projects that contributed to his net worth. Here are just a few of them:
Celebrity Net Worth claims that Evan Handler is worth $6 million. But there's no way that all of this money came from his role as Charlotte's lawyer and second husband, Harry in the Sex and the City franchise. In fact, most TV watchers may know him best as Hank Moody's agent and best friend in Californication alongside David Duchovny. Handler has also had numerous other roles in TV shows and movies that have added to his net worth.
RelatedAccording to Nicki Swift, Handler also has a career as a writer. This includes his two books and writing for Oprah's website and HuffPost.

Willie Garson managed to shoot 27 episodes as Carrie Bradshaw's best friend in the original Sex and the City series as well as appear in both of the feature films. He even shot three episodes of HBO Max's sequel series, And Just Like That, before his untimely death in 2021. While he's best known for playing Stanford Blatch, Garson has been one of the industry's busiest working actors since 1986. Because of this, Willie Garson was worth $10 million before he died.
While all of Carrie's boyfriends on Sex and the City have been ranked numerous times, there's no doubt about who 'the best' is. Or, at least, the most famous. That would be Chris Noth's Mr. Big who eventually becomes Carrie's husband. While Sarah Jessica Parker's relationship to Noth may have changed following the allegations leveled against him, there's no doubt that he remains a vital part of the Sex and the City lore.
Aside from Mr. Big, Chris Noth made a fortune from commercials and a prolific film and television career. This includes his five-season role as Det. Mike Logan on Law & Order. Celebrity Net Worth claims that Chris Noth is worth $12 million.

While one Miranda scene was banned from Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon had more than a few opportunities to make her character one of the most beloved. Nixon, on the other hand, is a pretty polarizing figure, according to People. Most of her scandals surround her run for New York City mayor and her career in politics and the positions that she's taken. Her political career also allegedly exposed tax loopholes she may have been using to hide her real net worth. Following a scandal surrounding tax deductions through her corporation, as well as one regarding fines owed, Nixon dropped out of politics.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Cynthia Nixon is worth $25 million.

There's no doubt that the vast majority of Kristin Davis's $35 million net worth comes from her role as Charlotte York in the Sex and the City franchise. Just like Cynthia Nixon, Davis has played her Sex and the City character in the original series, both movies and the sequel series. While she's been in movies like Couples Retreat and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D, Davis' acting resume is far smaller than her co-stars. Although she is famous for her guest appearances on both Friends and Seinfeld. Then there's her constant Hallmark movie career which has no doubt benefited her bank account.
One of the biggest complaints about the Sex and the City sequel series is its lack of Samantha Jones AKA Kim Cattrall. While everyone and their dog knows about the feud between her and her Sex and the City co-star, Sarah Jessica Parker, there was a huge amount of hope that they would bury the hatchet for the reprise. That, of course, didn't end up happening. But Cattrall has more than enough money to sit back on instead of playing Samantha once more. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kim Cattrall is worth $40 million, mostly from her role in the original series and the two feature films.
RelatedAccording to Stylecaster, Kim Cattrall was making $350,000 per episode in the later season of Sex in the City. That would've equated to about $6 million per episode. She was also paid somewhere close to $7 million for the first movie and $10 million for the second.
According to IMDb, here are some of Cattrall's other famous projects:
It's not surprising that Sarah Jessica Parker is reportedly worth $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While Stylecaster claims her net worth isn't quite so high (they rank it at $150 million), there's no doubt that Parker is by far the wealthiest member of the cast. In the later years of the original Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker was earning an insane $3.2 million per episode. According to Stylecaster, she earned $1 million per episode of And Just Like That. As for portraying Carrie Bradshaw in the movies, Sarah Jessica Parker reportedly banked $15 million for the first feature and $20 million for the second.
Sarah Jessica Parker has also had a prolific commercial career and has numerous endorsement deals with products. There's no doubt that a humungous chunk of revenue comes from these deals. Then, to cap it all off, Parker has also starred in numerous other series and movies that added to both her star power and her net worth. They include Divorce, Hocus Pocus 1 and 2, Glee, Mars Attacks!, Ed Wood, Footloose, Did You Hear About The Morgans?, Failure To Launch, and The Family Stone.
