It’s hard to believe it was almost 26 years ago that Sex and the City aired its first episode (on June 6, 1998), fast becoming one of TV’s most popular modern comedic-drama classics, while turning its four main cast members – Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall – into household names.

Over time, the series spawned two films, got cancelled, got revived, lost a key character – and is still going strong thanks to the 2021 spin-off series And Just Like That … which catches up with three of the main characters as they hit their 50s. Fortunately for fans, the spin-off has been picked up for a third season, which is set to air in 2025, according to Entertainment Tonight.

“We are thrilled to spend more time in the Sex and the City universe telling new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by these amazing actors,” the show’s creator Michael Patrick King said of the coming new episodes, in a press release.

While And Just Like That … initially received mixed reviews from critics, current fans seemingly can’t get enough of Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda’s antics. Network Max said in a statement: “We are delighted to share that, since the launch of season two, And Just Like That … ranks as the No 1 Max Original [and HBO production department] overall, and is the most-watched returning Max Original to date.”

Of course, the more popular the series, the higher the salaries, with Parker, Davis and Nixon reportedly earning US$1 million per episode at the start of the revival series, per Variety.

With the then 30-something actors now becoming 60-somethings, how do the cast’s fortunes stack up in 2024 – and who’s the richest? Let’s take closer look with the help of Celebrity Net Worth.

Estimated net worth: US$25 million

Much like her screen character Miranda, Cynthia Nixon’s life has drastically changed over the years. While she attempted a career in politics by running for governor of New York in 2018, she ultimately returned to the small screen in hit shows like Ratched (2020) and The Guilded Age (2022), and films like The Only Living Boy in New York (2017), The Parting Glass (2018) and Stray Dolls (2019).

She’s still not afraid to make political statements though, doing a range of recent TV appearances in support of Palestine, and even embarking on a publicised two-day hunger strike calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

3. Kristin Davis, 59

Estimated net worth: US$35 million

While she’s acted in a few films and shows over the years, Kristen Davis has remained largely low-key since filming the Sex and the City projects. Instead, she focused on raising her two adopted children, daughter Gemma Rose and son Wilson, and working on environmental issues and wildlife conservation.

She’s heavily involved in everything from dog-adoption charities to elephant orphanages, to supporting refugees. Much like her Sex and the City character Charlotte, Davis has a heart of gold.

2. Kim Cattrall, 67

Estimated net worth: US$40 million

Starring in classic films like 1981’s Porky’s and 1984’s Police Academy, Kim Cattrall already had a long list of TV and movie credits to her name when she was cast as Samantha Jones in HBO’s Sex and the City. In recent years, she’s continued her on-screen journey in shows like Filthy Rich (2020), Queer as Folk (2022) and Glamorous (2023).

While Cattrall’s real-life feud with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker devastated fans as it tore apart the fabulous four, she finally agreed to remotely film a short appearance for And Just Like That’s … second season, avoiding any potential contact with SJP. But she didn’t come cheap, earning a US$1 million fee for the 70-second appearance, per The Times.

Estimated net worth: US$200 million (combined)

As the lead actor and then producer of the show from series four onwards, who famously made more than her co-stars (sorry, Kim Cattrall …), it’s no surprise Sarah Jessica Parker remains the show’s wealthiest cast member with a net worth of around US$200 million. (This is combined with the accumulated wealth of her actor husband Matthew Broderick.)

In 2005, SJP started her production company Pretty Matches, creating shows for HBO and other TV networks. Of course, she wouldn’t be Carrie Bradshaw without a fashion line under her belt – she also owns the SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker brand, selling footwear, fragrances, gifts and accessories.
