If you were watching TV during the 90s, chances are you got caught up in the drama of Beverly Hills, 90210 at some point. Once the most popular shows in the world, running from 1990 – 2000, it turned its young, then-unknown cast into household names and TV’s biggest stars.
But that was a long time ago. The show’s cast have since had their fair share of ups and downs since then. While some are still successfully working and earning an income in Hollywood, others haven’t been so lucky
Tori Spelling was famously cast by her super wealthy father Aaron Spelling, one of Hollywood’s richest and most powerful TV producers at the time. However, after a series of financial mismanagements, personal struggles and family spats, she inherited a mere US$800,000 from her estranged mother when her father passed away. While she had all the privilege of the Spelling name back then, these days her net worth is only US$150,000.
Of course, the iconic cast lost one of their brightest stars in 2019 when actor Luke Perry passed away after suffering a stroke. He died on March 4 at age 52, with a net worth of US$10 million at the time.
So which stars from Beverly Hills, 90210 are still laughing all the way to the bank in 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth?
8. Ian Ziering, 59: US$2 million
Besides playing Steve Sanders on Beverly Hills, 90210, Ziering also appeared in shows like Swamp Thing, The Order, Malibu Rescue and, of course, the cult-classic Sharknado movie franchise. He’s also appeared on Dancing with the Stars and Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, and performed with the Chippendales in Vegas.
He recently made headlines when he got attacked by a group of bikers while driving down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. The incident, which went viral on social media, left him shaken and roughed up, but fortunately he wasn’t seriously injured.
7. Kathleen Robertson, 50: US$3 million
Canadian actress Kathleen Robertson played Clare Arnold in the popular teen drama. Since then, she’s appeared in a string of high-profile TV shows including The Fixer, Boss and Bates Motel.
Acting aside, Robertson has also worked as a writer, producer and creator in the TV industry. She began producing and screenwriting in the 2010s and completed the Writers Guild’s Showrunners Training Programme in 2015.
CELEBRITY CHILDREN
6. Gabrielle Carteris, 63: US$5 million
Who can forget school newspaper editor Andrea Zuckerman? Portrayed by Carteris for five seasons, she eventually quit the role when she became pregnant with her first child. After launching a talk show that only lasted one season, she returned to 90210 as a guest star appearing in seasons six, eight and 10.
5. Shannen Doherty, 52: US$5 million
During and even after the show, Shannen Doherty was the firecracker of the cast, known for her feuds with co-stars. After she famously walked out on the show in 1994, she bagged roles in shows like Charmed, North Shore and The Secret of Lost Creek. These days, Doherty is battling stage four breast cancer, which has now spread to her bones.
Speaking exclusively to People magazine, the actress says she is determined to keep going with treatment: “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating.”
MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES
4. Jennie Garth, 51: US$8 million
Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor in the popular teen drama, kept hustling long after the show ended. After wrapping up 90210, she landed a role as Valerie Tyler on What I Like About You, which ran from 2002 to 2006.
3. Brian Austin Green, 50: US$8 million
After playing baby-faced David Silver on Beverly Hills, 90210, Green went on to bag roles in shows like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Wedding Band, Freddie, Desperate Housewives and Anger Management.
These days, Green is working the reality show circuit, starring in shows like Dancing with the Stars, I Can See Your Voice, The Masked Singer and The Masked Dancer.
FAME AND CELEBRITY
2. Tiffani Amber Thiessen, 49: US$10 million
Thiessen played the role of Valerie Malone, but unlike most of her fellow cast members, she had already found fame on hit TV show Saved By The Bell before joining Beverly Hills, 90210. The American actress-turned-director and producer later also appeared in shows like Fastlane and White Collar. In 2020, she reprised her role on Peacock’s Saved by the Bell sequel series.
Now primarily credited as Tiffani Thiessen, the stunning actress has accumulated an impressive fortune thanks to her many TV roles. Most recently, she starred in Netflix’s Alexa and Katie, which she received a Daytime Emmy nominee for.
1. Jason Priestley, 54: US$12 million
Most fans of Beverly Hills, 90210 had a poster of teen heartthrob Jason Priestley on their bedroom walls in the 90s, so it’s no surprise our beloved Brandon Walsh is the show’s wealthiest star all these years later. Following the success of 90210, Priestley starred in films like The Last Rites of Ransom Pride and Enter the Dangerous Mind – and landed roles in shows such as Private Eyes and Call Me Fitz.
When he’s not acting, he’s an avid racing driver. He started circuit racing back in 1996 and has driven Ford Mustangs and a Lotus Esprit V-8
