The Richest Star of the Brady Bunch Revealed

Who's the richest of the Bunch?

The Brady Bunch was a beloved staple of the small screen back in the early 70s.

Running for five seasons between 1969 and 1974, the family-friendly sitcom chronicled the adventures of a blended American family with six children. Of course, more than five decades after the show first aired, the Brady kids have all grown up.

Read on to take a look at the cast of The Brady Bunch then and now, and discover which star of the show made the most money after the show ended. All dollar amounts in US dollars.

Ann B. Davis: $200,000 at time of death

Starting with the cast members who are sadly no longer with us, the late Ann B. Davis played Alice Nelson, the Brady family's ever-dependable housekeeper.

Davis was a veteran actress long before joining The Brady Bunch. She first found fame thanks to her part in the sitcom The Bob Cummings Show, which she starred in between 1955 and 1959; in fact, her role in the comedy series earned her two Emmys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

Davis had also appeared in a number of other TV shows, as well as dabbling in movies, theater work, and stand-up comedy. She landed the role of Alice in 1969.

After The Brady Bunch, Davis went on to appear in numerous made-for-TV movies that were inspired by the show, as well as two short-lived spin-off TV series: 1981's The Brady Brides and 1990's The Bradys.

Capitalizing on her Brady Bunch fame even more, the savvy star also published Alice’s Brady Bunch Cookbook in 1994.

The 1990s saw Davis return to the stage, with lead roles in plays such as the black comedy Arsenic and Old Lace and the rom-com Crazy For You. The in-demand actress never fully retired from the spotlight, and in later life was a spokeswoman for Shake 'n Bake and also appeared in adverts for cleaning brand Swiffer.

Davis died in 2014 at the age of 88. Her estimated net worth at the time of her passing is thought to have sat somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000.

Robert Reed: $3 million at time of death

The late Robert Reed played Mike, the pensive father of the Brady clan, for all five seasons of the sitcom.

A former student of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Reed landed his TV debut in 1959, which saw him appearing in an episode of sitcom Father Knows Best. Guest roles in sci-fi series Men into Space and western drama Lawman followed, and he scored his first credited movie role in the 1961 horror Bloodlust!

Reed’s big break came when he landed the starring role in the Emmy-winning courtroom drama series The Defenders in 1961.

Reed (pictured with his co-star Florence Henderson) was reportedly dissatisfied with his role as Mike Brady, feeling his career-making part was beneath his Shakespearean training. Despite this, he still acted in a number of Brady Bunch spin-offs later on his career.

While Mike might have been his best-known character, Reed went on to land a range of other notable leading parts, included in the acclaimed 80s medical drama Nurse. The diverse thespian also made guest appearances in a plethora of other popular TV shows, including Wonder Woman, Charlie's Angels, and Hawaii Five-O.

Following a battle with cancer, Reed died in 1992 at the age of 59. His estimated fortune at the time of his death was a respectable $3 million.

Florence Henderson: $10 million at time of death

Florence Henderson played Carol, the easy-going matriarch of the Brady family. While the role would become her most famous part, the late actress already boasted an impressive acting career prior to joining the sitcom. 

A talented singer, Henderson's career started out on the stage. She made her Broadway debut in the 1952 production of Wish You Were Here and later played Meg March in a musical TV adaptation of the classic novel Little Women in 1958.

Trailblazing Henderson also made history in 1962, becoming the first woman to guest-host The Tonight Show.

After The Brady Bunch ended, Henderson reprised her role as Carol in various spin-offs, and also made appearances in TV shows including Roseanne and Murder, She Wrote. 

A game-show enthusiast, Henderson appeared on celebrity editions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Family Feud, and The Price is Right over the years. She also competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2010.

The business-savvy starlet didn't rely on acting alone to boost her coffers. She was the spokeswoman for Wesson cooking oil for over 20 years, and was paid to promote brands such as Polident and Pepsi. 

Henderson never lost the acting bug, and her final movie was 2017 comedy flick Bad Grandmas; the film was released posthumously as Henderson passed away in 2016 aged 82. At the time of her death, Henderson was estimated to be worth an impressive $10 million.

Susan Olsen: $2 million

And now on to The Brady Bunch cast members who are still with us. Susan Olsen played Cindy Brady, the youngest member of the clan.

Olsen entered the entertainment industry in 1968 at the age of seven, landing a role in crime drama Ironside. The following year, she scored a small part in Hollywood flick The Trouble With Girls, which starred Elvis Presley.

The starlet was just eight years old when she secured the role of Cindy, who was as renowned for her snooping as she was for her pigtails.

Susan Olsen: $2 million

Olsen’s acting career has slowed down since her days on The Brady Bunch. She's appeared in several spin-offs, while one of her most recent projects was a small part in Dragging the Classics: The Brady Bunch, a TV special that was released by Paramount Plus in 2021.

The former child star has found a number of other projects to keep her busy. She starred in Fox Reality's Gimme My Reality Show in 2008 and published the coffee table book Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour the following year.

The role of Cindy Brady has undoubtedly been profitable for Olsen, who's estimated to be worth a respectable $2 million.

Mike Lookinland: $2 million

Mike Lookinland played Bobby Brady, the second youngest child and youngest son of the Brady clan.

Lookinland was just eight years old when he landed the part of mischievous Bobby, and had previously only acted in TV commercials.

The budding young star was actually offered the chance to star in two different sitcom roles in 1968: The Brady Bunch and The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. His family decided the former would be the better option, reasoning that Lookinland would be around children of his own age on the set.

Mike Lookinland: $2 million

Like many of his other co-stars, Lookinland continued to star in Brady Bunch spin-offs after the show finished. He also scored a number of minor film and TV roles, including small parts in the 70s western drama series Little House on the Prairie and the 1974 action flick The Towering Inferno.

As time went on, Lookinland's star began to fade. He briefly transitioned to life behind the camera, working as a production assistant on horror movie Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Today, he runs a concrete business called Just Add Water and describes himself as a "concrete artisan" on LinkedIn.

However, he's not totally stepped away from the bright lights of showbiz. He made a surprise return to the screen for the 2021 Lifetime TV movie Blending Christmas and also competed in The Masked Singer in 2022.

His estimated net worth? A cool $2 million.

Barry Williams: $6 million

Greg, the confident and self-assured eldest sibling in the Brady family, was portrayed by Barry Williams. 

Williams had harbored acting ambitions since childhood and made his debut at the age of 13 in the cop show Dragnet 1967.

He scored small roles in a number of other TV shows before landing the part of Greg Brady when he was 15.

Barry Williams: $6 million

Following the cancellation of The Brady Bunch, Williams appeared in TV shows including General Hospital and Full House, as well as several Brady Bunch spin-offs. He also starred in musical theater productions of Grease and West Side Story.

He co-wrote and published his autobiography Growing Up Brady: I Was A Teenage Greg in 1992. The book became a New York Times best-seller and was later adapted into a TV movie titled Growing Up Brady that starred Adam Brody as Williams.

In more recent times, Williams co-starred in the Lifetime TV movie Blending Christmas with his former on-screen siblings Mike Lookinland, Christopher Knight, and Susan Olsen.

Sources put Williams' net worth at $2 million, though some suggest that his multi-decade career has actually pocketed him as much as $6 million.

Maureen McCormick: $4 million

Maureen McCormick played Marcia Brady, the stylish eldest sister of the Brady family.

Child star McCormick started out in TV ads for Barbie and Chatty Cathy dolls, before making her screen debut in the fantasy sitcom Bewitched.

By the time she landed the part of Marcia at the age of 13, she had appeared in a range of other sitcoms, including The Farmer’s Daughter and I Dream of Jeannie.

Maureen McCormick: $4 million

After The Brady Bunch wrapped, McCormick appeared in the likes of Happy Days and Donny & Marie. She also starred in several Brady Bunch spin-offs and recorded four albums with her on-screen siblings. However, the troubled star became addicted to drugs, which derailed her career and potentially cost her a role in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

She turned things around in 2008 with the release of her autobiography Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice. The book was a hit with fans and debuted at number four on the New York Times Best Seller list.

In more recent times, McCormick competed in the 23rd season of Dancing with the Stars in 2016 and also hosted TV baking contest Macy’s Thanksgiving Cake Spectacular: Cakes on Parade. 

Despite her struggles over the years, McCormick has a sizable fortune that's estimated to be worth $4 million.

Eve Plumb: $5 million

Eve Plumb played Jan, the socially awkward middle sister of the Brady family. 

Plumb began acting in 1966 when she was seven years old, and starred in a number of TV commercials before landing parts in shows like The Big Valley, Lassie, and Gunsmoke.

She was 11 years old when she secured the role of Jan. 

Eve Plumb: $5 million

After The Brady Bunch wrapped, Plumb appeared in various spin-offs – but she's enjoyed a long and lucrative career outside of the show too. 

Notable movie credits include the black comedy Nowhere in 1997 and 2013 thriller Blue Ruin, while her TV appearances include That ‘70s Show, All My Children, and Days of Our Lives.

The actress also went on to star on the stage, making her New York debut in Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage in 2010. Most recently, she’s appeared in the 2020 legal drama Bull and the 2021 Paramount Plus special Dragging the Classics: The Brady Bunch.

Plumb is estimated to have a fortune of $5 million to $7 million.

Christopher Knight: $10 million

Christopher Knight played Peter, the middle Brady brother.

While Peter was always overshadowed by his big brother Greg, things have turned out a little different in real life. Knight is actually the richest star in our round-up, with his estimated fortune sitting somewhere between $10 million and $15 million.

Before landing his big break in The Brady Bunch at the age of 12, Knight had already had minor roles in TV shows Mannix and Gunsmoke.

Christopher Knight: $10 million

Like many of his Brady Bunch co-stars, Knight would go on to star in several spin-offs of the beloved sitcom. But that hasn't stopped him from sinking his teeth into a number of other roles.

While he's largely swapped acting for business ventures, Knight still boasts an impressive range of credits. Among them are 1997 black comedy Nowhere, which also starred Eve Plumb, and 2012 horror flick The Lords of Salem.

He's mostly stuck to the small screen, having appeared in everything from quiz show The Weakest Link to sitcom That '70s Show. Most recently, he appeared in TV movie Blending Christmas, alongside Susan Olsen, Mike Lookinland, and Barry Williams.
