The '60s had the Rat Pack and the 80's had the Brat Pack. As for the Nineties, well, they had the Frat Pack. This lesser known grouping included comedy stars like Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller and Steve Carrell as well as Hollywood heartthrobs like Luke Wilson and Paul Rudd, all of which remain recognisable names onscreen today. Of course, with decades of stardom comes years of jaw-dropping paycheques, movie star salaries and, for some, sitcom success.

For these Frat members, there's no sight of instant noodles, days spent living off grilled cheese sandwiches or drunken roommates sprawled in the hallway. We're investigating just how far from those penny-pinching days each of the Frat Pack members have come.

The Kung Fu Panda himself, Jack Black is still a beloved figure in Hollywood

Jack Black, $50 million

The Tenacious D frontman is best known for comedy roles in films like Mars Attacks! (1996), High Fidelity (2000) and Shallow Hal (2001). 

Movies like School of Rock and Kung Fu Panda have cemented Jack's funny-man reputation, while The Holiday gave him a much-loved romantic role opposite Kate Winslet. It's surely a credit to the Frat Pack's fame that the iconic actor and singer sits bottom of the list.

Luke and brother Owen Wilson both belong to the Frat Pack

Luke Wilson, $50 million

If, like Elle Woods, you fell head over heals for Emmett in Legally Blonde, Luke Wilson is surely a familiar name. Luke got his start in early Wes Anderson short, Bottle Rocket (1993) and the 1996 film of the same name. 

He's since appeared in Charlie's Angels, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Family Stone. Together with roles in Vacancy and Old School, Luke sits alongside fellow Frat Pack member Jack Black with a substantial net work of $50 million.

Owen Wilson, $70 million

On our ranking, Luke sits right next to brother Owen who is estimated at a net worth of $70 million. The Oscar-nominated actor also got his start in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket and joined Luke in The Royal Tenenbaums

He's worked on other Anderson projects like Fantastic Mr Fox and The French Dispatch, voiced Lightening McQueen and joined Ben Stiller in both Night at the Museum and Zoolander. All this has built to give Owen a very healthy estimated net worth of $70 million.

Paul Rudd, $70 million

Two-time Primetime Emmy nominee Paul Rudd appeared in '90s hits like Clueless, Romeo + Juliet and The Cider House Rules, married free spirit Phoebe Buffay and joined the MCU as Ant-Man. 

He's kept busy since, recently appearing with Frat Pack-er Jack Black in Anaconda and starring with Nick Jonas in 2026 comedy Power Ballad. Combining leading man charm with perfect comedic timing, it's no wonder Paul sits alongside Lightening McQueen himself in our ranking.

Vince Vaughn is still a regular onscreen but has also turned his attention to several producer roles

Vince Vaughn, $75 million

Vince Vaughn was a regular on the big screen during the '90s with films like Swingers, Return to Paradise and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Just a hop up from Paul and Owen, Vince sits at a very healthy $75 million.

The Primetime Emmy nominee has worked as both an actor and producer, with credits onscreen in Hulu feature Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice and behind the camera on Dennis Quaid western Broke

Michael Scott is the 'World's Best Boss' and you'd struggle to find better than comedy legend Steve Carell

Steve Carell, $100 million

Oscar-nominated actor Steve Carell is well-loved for his role in The Office as the 'World's Best Boss' with a heart of gold. When not at Dunder Mifflin, Steve features in big-screen hits like The 40 Year-Old Virgin, the Despicable Me franchise and award-winning rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love

Fictional paper supplying is (apparently) a better money maker than you would think and Steve Carell knocks us over into 9 figures with his estimated net worth of $100 million.

Will Ferrell, aka Buddy the Elf, is well-known for his comedy roles and recently starred in Margot Robbie hit 'Barbie'

Will Ferrell, $160 million

It's a significant jump up in our ranking with Elf's Will Ferrell. That festive magic seems to have rubbed off on his career, helped along by the Anchorman franchise, Step Brothers and Barbie

His recent appearances include A Very Jonas Christmas Movie and SNL's 50th Anniversary Special, with upcoming projects in post-production like Judgement Day.

Ben Stiller takes first place on our ranking of the Frat Pack's net worth

Ben Stiller, $200 million

Primetime-Emmy winner Ben Stiller Ben Stiller helped make '90s comedy what it was. Features like There's Something About Mary, Happy Gilmore and Reality Bites defined the decade, while the early '00s brought further fame with Zoolander and Meet the Fockers.

It should come as no surprise then that Ben Stiller takes the lead, although his $200,000,000 net worth is certainly jaw-dropping.
