5 richest How I Met Your Mother actors – net worths, ranked: Neil Patrick Harris stars in Netflix’s new Uncoupled, but how successful have his co-stars Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders been?
- From Doogie Howser to Gone Girl with Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris has had a glittering career outside the hit TV show, and most recently stars in Netflix’s Uncoupled
- Both Harris and Josh Radnor have voiced characters in Family Guy, and Radnor wrote a film with co-star Jason Segel, who also starred in and wrote Forgetting Sarah Marshall
After the exciting return of Cobie Smulders’ character Robin Scherbatsky in How I Met Your Father earlier this year – a How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) spin-off – it’s more recently been Neil Patrick Harris’ turn to delight fans with his recent Netflix comedy comeback, Uncoupled.
Harris plays Michael Lawson, a successful real estate broker who suddenly becomes single after his partner of 17 years walks away, forced to start dating again in his 40s.
It’s been almost 10 years since HIMYM ended, but the much loved 2000s sitcom remains a firm fan favourite, not least because of the great performances of the five main cast members.
This is the story of how they all became hotshots and made their money – but which How I Met Your Mother cast member has the highest net worth today?
5. Cobie Smulders – US$25 million
Nailing the part of sarcastic Robin Scherbatsky turned Cobie Smulders from a bit part actress into a multimillionaire. She reportedly made US$340,000 per episode, equivalent to around US$10 million, for the last season, becoming one of top 10 highest-paid TV actresses in 2014, according to Forbes.
The show also paved the way for future lucrative projects and millions more since then, particularly with the mighty Marvel Cinematic Universe as Maria Hill in franchise The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and series Agents of S.H. I. E. L. D (2013-2015). Her Maria Hill character will appear in the next Marvel miniseries, Disney+’s Secret Invasion.
4. Josh Radnor – US$30 Million
