JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN—EST. $10 MILLION

Morgan used to love basketball when he was in college, but after a leg injury, he gave up his goal of becoming a professional basketball player. After that, he decided to pursue other interests. Fortunately, he found that he had the talent for acting and worked hard to achieve that goal.

Yes, it’s Negan from The Walking Dead, and he’s worth $10 million. While Dean Morgan isn’t exactly a huge star, he does have somewhat of a cult following, in no small part because of the success of The Walking Dead franchise. And, seriously, can anyone who has read the comic book on which the show was based really deny that Dean Morgan is perfect for the role? He did such an excellent job as Negan that people totally forgot he played a charming ex-lawyer in the hit television show The Good Wife just a year before.
