5 Wealthiest General Hospital Stars, Ranked By Net Worth

Although soap operas may not be the most profitable genre on television today, it wasn't always that way. In fact, back in the '80s, soap actors were just as popular and beloved as Hollywood A-listers. The numbers on the checks associated with the soap opera project were also probably much more exciting back then.

However, the hard work and dedication of today's soap opera stars has to pay off. And considering how much time these actors spend on set, one can only imagine the income they receive from a show like General Hospital.

Here's a look at the top five richest current General Hospital cast members, ranked by their reported net worth.

5. Kelly Monaco ($4 million)

Kelly Monaco joined the cast of General Hospital in the early 2000s, but her net worth of $4 million was not built solely on the show. For a time, the actress modeled for Playboy, which should have added to the number. Monaco has also appeared on shows like Dancing with the Stars and Baywatch.

4. Kirsten Storms ($6 million)

Joining the cast in 2005 as Maxie Jones, Kirsten Storms quickly became a fan favorite, so it should come as no surprise that she is still as dedicated to the soap as ever. Storms' net worth also comes from payments for 5 years of starring on Days of Our Lives as Belle Black.

3. Finola Hughes ($8 million)

Coming in and out of General Hospital didn't stop Finola Hughes from becoming a big part of the General Hospital family as Anna Devane. In addition to the soap, the actress also starred in the iconic 2000s supernatural series Charmed and the NBC sitcom Blossom. This array of roles led the actress to build a solid net worth of $8 million.

2. Laura Wright ($10 million)

The one and only Carly Corinthos came very close to topping the General Hospital rich list with a reported net worth of $10 million. Before coming to Port Charles, the actress built her career on several soap opera appearances such as The City, Loving, and Guiding Light.

1. Genie Francis ($25 million)

As we mentioned earlier, the longer you are on the show, the more you benefit from its golden years. Genie Francis portrayed one of the most popular characters, Laura Spencer, at a time when General Hospital was breaking every ratings record known to the television industry, so she must have seen the effect that had on her paycheck. The number of other TV projects that Francis took on in her career also made it easier to amass such a net worth.
