Published on February 23, 2016. Updated February 14, 2017

Zoolander was one of those great movies that was just jam packed with A-list actors and actresses along with celebrity cameos. And all of that star power pulled in some box office success in spite of mixed critical reviews. The fashion-industry parody gathered a cult gathering, and with the recent release of Zoolander 2, we’re taking a look at the original cast and checking out their estimated bank accounts!

8. Jerry Stiller

Estimated Net Worth: $12.5 Million. Jerry Stiller is best known to a new generation for playing the dad on the hit comedy sitcoms, Seinfeld, and The King of Queens, but Jerry has a long history in the biz and he spent many years as a comedy duo in the ’60s and ’70s with his late wife, Anne Meara. Jerry has been a big part of his son’s projects and appeared by his side in Zoolander, Heavyweights, Hot Pursuit, and The Heartbreak Kid.

7. Jon Voight

Jon Voight is a respected Academy Award winning actor with a career that began in the 1960s, but he took the time out of the epic drama scene to play the role of Larry Zoolander in Zoolander.

He was prolific throughout the ‘90s and 2000s and has been in 36 feature films since 1990 and various television projects including Return to Lonesome Dove, The Tin Soldier, and Ray Donovan. And while Voight’s daughter, Angelina Jolie, may be worth a bit more than him, he’s still earned himself a pretty penny with an estimated net worth of $45 million!

6. Milla Jovovich

Estimated Net Worth: $36 Million. This multi-talented actress is also well known for her modeling work, but not too many people know that she’s also dabbed in the music biz and fashion industry. Her breakthrough role in the movie biz was in the French sci-fi flick The Fifth Element, where she starred alongside Hollywood veteran, Bruce Willis. From there, the Resident Evil franchise shot her to new heights and in 2006 she was deemed “the reigning queen of kick-butt” by VH1. Jovovich has released several albums: The Divine Comedy, and the reportedly unauthorized The People Tree Sessions. Milla now releases her singles for free on her official website.  In 2003, she and fellow model Carmen Hawk launched their own clothing line, Jovovich-Hawk. While it ceased operations in mid-2008, Jovovich says that they stopped production due to their busy schedules. And busy, she has been. This year she’s returned to the Zoolander franchise and next year we’ll see the release of the final installment in the Resident Evil saga. The many enterprises of this Ukrainian-born mogul have earned her a massive $36 million bank account!
