Although for some, it can be the first step they need to break into their entertainment career, for others it’s the starring part they’ve always been aiming for, and for all it’s a major credit on their professional resume that brings them the big bucks. From Vampire Diaries to Arrow, Supernatural to Jane the Virgin, you’ll be pretty impressed with these 10 CW stars when you find out how much they’re each worth.

Estimated Net Worth: $5 million. Everything is bigger in Texas, where Supernatural star Jared Padalecki grew up, except for maybe paychecks.

8. “The Vampire Diaries” star Paul Wesley

Estimated Net Worth: $2 million. Since it premiered on the CW network in September of 2009, The Vampire Diaries has continued to dominate as one of its most popular shows. Paul Wesley got the opportunity of a lifetime when he was hired to play the show’s main teen gal’s love interest and the younger of two vampire siblings, but he didn’t stop there and in Season 5 added the title of Director to his resumé. Also having appeared on shows like 24, 8 Simple Rules, American Dreams, Army Wives, Cane, Everwood, Guiding Light, Smallville, and The O.C., Paul Wesley is certainly living it up as one of the undead while earning himself an estimated net worth of $2 million.

Making her name in the biz as Majo Tenorio in the  film Filly Brown and as Beverly in The Bold and the Beautiful, Gina is now making audiences laugh as CW’s Jane Villanueva. The role, for which she’s already earned herself a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy, has also helped her earn an impressive estimated net worth of $5 million.

3. “The Flash” star Grant Gustin

Estimated Net Worth: $2 million. Grant Gustin first had fans falling in love with his as Dalton Academy Warblers’s Sebastian Smythe on Glee. From there, he appeared as Barry Allen in the second season of Arrow in what was initially supposed to be merely three episodes to set up the character for a possible spin-off series. This plan was scraped in part when the pilot was picked up on its own and The Flash premiered to massive success. Already safe with a second season, The Flash will continue to help Grant Gustin add to his estimated personal net worth of $2 million.

2. “The Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder

Estimated Net Worth: $4 million. Not all of Ian Somerhalder’s roles have been super successful. For instance, were you aware that he starred in a short-lived, total bomb of a Dawson’s Creek spin-off show called Young Americans? He played the son of the dean at a prestigious boarding school and it was a story that just didn’t vibe with fans at the time. But things worked out fine for Ian and he’s not only appeared as Boone Carlyle in the massively popular series Lost and, of course, these days is the icy-eyed star on The Vampire Diaries. His current success is the major reason he’s estimated to be worth at the moment an impressive $4 million.

1. “Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles

Estimated Net Worth: $10 million. When you’re talking about your favorite CW stars, you simply can’t leave out Jensen Ackles. Earning himself fans early on as Eric Brady on daytime TV’s Days of Our Lives, he also nabbed roles as Alec/X5-494 in Dark Angel and Jason Teague on Smallville. But it’s his current starring role as Dean Winchester on the CW’s Supernatural which earns him a wild $175 thousand per episode and has contributed to his massive personal net worth of $10 million.
