When Paychecks Are Chicago Fire: 10 Richest Stars of Our Favorite Firefighter Show
Chicago Fire stars could buy a few firehouses just for their own use if they wanted to.
10. Hanako Greensmith — $500K
In Chicago Fire, Hanako Greensmith portrays Violet Mikami who recently became the new Paramedic-in-Charge in Firehouse 51. Apart from starring in Chicago Fire and appearing in crossover episodes with its sister shows Med and PD, Greensmith also played in FBI. The actress’ net worth is estimated to be over $500k.
9. Daniel Kyri — $600K
Daniel Kyri has been playing Darren Ritter since Chicago Fire Season 7, being one of Firehouse 51’s most reliable on-screen firefighters. But throughout his career, Daniel Kyri has never been limited to one show, having roles in Night’s End, Acting for a Cause, and several more projects. Kyri’s estimated to be worth $600k.
8. Kara Killmer — $1.5M
Kara Killmer’s recent exit from Chicago Fire disappointed many fans, considering that her Sylvie Brett has always been among everyone’s favorite characters. Beyond the show, Killmer won’t be lost, though: she has already had many other roles, including those in Special Skills and Scary Tales, and has over $1.5M to back it up.
7. Miranda Rae Mayo — $1.5M
One of Chicago Fire’s most notorious, favorite, and scandalous characters, Stella Kidd is portrayed by Miranda Rae Mayo, and the actress has better reputation than her on-screen alter-ego. Like Killmer, Mayo has an impressive portfolio, including roles in Pretty Little Liars and True Detective, and is also worth around $1.5M.
6. Alberto Rosende — $2M
Alberto Rosende’s Blake Gallo is among the most missed Chicago Fire characters according to many fans, and we can definitely see why: things haven’t been the same after his exit. Together with Rosende’s other most notable TV show, Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments, Chicago Fire brought him over $2M.
5. Christian Stolte — $4M
Christian Stolte indulges in fan love as he portrays one of the last OGs in Chicago Fire — veteran firefighter known as Mouch. But Stolte is by no means a stranger to other genres, too, with prominent roles in Prison Break, ER, The Nightmare on Elm Street, and many more projects. Together, they put his net worth above $4M.
4. David Eigenberg — $6M
Mouch’s best friend and another Firehouse 51 veteran, Herrmann, is portrayed by David Eigenberg. Chicago Fire is far from the actor’s most well-known project, however, as his biggest project was Sex and the City — apart from dozens of other famous TV shows and movies. Eigenberg has earned over $6M from his many roles.
3. Eamonn Walker — $6M
Everyone’s favorite Chief Boden’s real name is Eamonn Walker, and he’s been acting in British TV shows for ages before coming to the Windy City and joining Chicago Fire. You can remember Walker from series like Oz and Dramarama, but even if you don’t, it matters little to the actor as he sits on a solid $6M of net worth.
2. Jesse Spencer — $8M
Some Chicago Fire fans still can’t find the strength to forgive Jesse Spencer for leaving the show: his Matt Casey has always been one of the most prominent characters. But Spencer has seemingly moved on from it, and he can afford to. From Chicago Fire, House, and his other star roles, the actor has earned over $8M.
1. Taylor Kinney — $8M
Taylor Kinney’s leave of absence from Chicago Fire was the real torture for fans, but now he’s back to portraying our favorite Kelly Severide. Kinney is no stranger to different genres, having also starred in Shameless, The Vampire Diaries, and many other shows and is likely the highest-paid Chicago Fire actor: he’s worth about $8M.
