Highlights

• Emilie De Ravin of Lost has an estimated net worth of $4 million, acting in 27 projects after Lost drew to a close in 2010.
• Yunjin Kim, another Lost cast member, has an estimated net worth of $4 million, continuing to build her acting career internationally.
• Both Matthew Fox and Jorge Garcia from Lost have an estimated net worth of $5 million, and are still active in acting, despite ups and downs after Lost.

In 2004, a brand-new series descended upon the entertainment industry like a storm; everyone was talking about it, due to its surprisingly unique, mystery box-like storytelling.

Of course, the series was Lost, which is now an iconic piece of television history.

Although Lost concluded its run 14 years ago, Lost fans haven't forgotten the complex twists and turns of the show; today, the series is still the talk of the town.

Many viewers regard four-time Emmy winner Lost as the best television show of all time, while others praise the series for transforming modern TV, ushering in a new age of prestige, and helping the medium to rival film in terms of quality.

Of course, very few regard it as overrated (reflexive opposition always makes itself known), but the point is, Lost remains front and center in discussions of television's most groundbreaking series.

Nominated for a staggering 54 Emmys, the concept behind Lost was (in several respects) simple: A passenger jet crashed, and its survivors were marooned on what appeared to be a remote island.

Still, the unexpected sci-fi themes of the story, its fast-paced approach, and Lost's sudden and mysterious plot twists came together, and made the series impeccable.

Lost didn't just make a huge amount of money; it also made stars, and members of the Lost cast who were already famous enhanced their positions in Hollywood as a result of its prominence.

Some of the Lost cast went on to work on new and different projects, and amassed a lot of money due to the fame Lost bestowed upon them.

Let's see how every major member of the Lost cast is doing right now, and look at how much wealth they have amassed 14 years after their career's most successful TV show drew to a controversial close.

Just before she joined the Lost cast, Emilie worked on the movie Carrie, one episode of NCIS, two episodes of The Handler, and one episode of CSI Miami.

9 Yunjin Kim

Yunjin Kim's Net Worth (Estimated): $4 Million

Yunjin Kim was a well-known actress in the Korean film industry before she joined the Lost cast.

In fact, she was raised on American soil, but as an actress, she decided to move to Korea to pursue a career in the Korean movie industry.

Yunjin Kim started acting in 1996 and appeared in many movies, such as The Legend Of Gingko, Rush, Mr. Iron Palm, and Milae. In 2004, she was included in the Lost series as Sun-Hwa Kwon.

Yun Jin Kim is one of the few Lost cast members who appeared in every season as a primary lead.

After Lost ended its run, Yunjin Kim went back to Korea, to work in the Korean movie industry.

In 2013, she landed a role as Karen Kim in Mistresses, and she appeared in 52 episodes of the drama-romance.

Yunjin Kim jetted off to Korea again, where she performed in more excellent movies and other projects: Pawn,Confession, and Netflix's globally popular series Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area, and XO, Kitty.

8 Naveen Andrews

Naveen Andrews' Net Worth (Estimated): $5 Million

British-born actor of Indian descent Naveen Andrews began his career long before he joined the Lost cast; his debut role was that of Bike in Hanif Kureishi’s London Kills Me in 1991.

Andrews was part of several notable projects, like Wild West, Kama Sutra: A Tale Of Love, television show The Beast, and Bride & Prejudice.

But one of his finest roles will always be his work as Sayid Jarrah on Lost, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy.

Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award winner Naveen Andrews has remained quite busy acting, as he was part of Sinbad, Sense8, Instinct, The Dropout, and The Cleaning Lady.

Naveen Andrews' net worth is an impressive $5 million, which he earned by working hard on more than three dozen projects.

7 Jorge Garcia

Jorge Garcia's Net Worth (Estimated): $5 Million

An extremely talented American actor, comedian, and writer, Jorge Garcia had primarily done brief roles in movies and shows here and there — until he secured a breakthrough acting role as Hugo Hurley Reyes on Lost.

Hurley remains one of the most likable characters on Lost, and viewers adored this affluent and kindhearted but cursed character.

Once a struggling actor, Jorge Garcia put those days behind him after his performance on Lost.

He appeared in several movies, like The Wedding Ringer, The Ridiculous 6, and The Wrong Missy.

But his claim to fame has always been this series; after Lost, he worked on Alcatraz, Hawaii Five-O, and a more recent effort, How To Be A Bookie.

Jorge Garcia’s net worth has reached $5 million, but he is always in demand due to his lovable personality, and his career trajectory suggests he will earn even more.

6 Evangeline Lilly

Evangeline Lilly's Net Worth (Estimated): $5 Million

Stunning Canadian actress Evangeline Lilly basically made her successful career by leveraging her fame as a member of the Lost cast.

Before Lost, Evangeline Lilly kicked off her acting journey with several uncredited roles in Stealing Sinatra, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Freddy vs Jason, Tru Calling, and Smallville.

In 2004, she hit the jackpot, and landed the lead role of Kate Austen on Lost.

Lilly never looked back, and went on to feature in many cinematic hits.

Among her post-Lost films are the Oscar-winner The Hurt Locker, the Oscar-nominated Hobbit series, and the fastest movie to gross a billion dollars, Avengers: Endgame.

She is beloved by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans for portraying the Wasp in the franchise.

5 Matthew Fox

Matthew Fox's Net Worth (Estimated): $6 Million

Unlike Evangeline Lilly, Matthew Fox had made a name for himself before Lost; Fox had more experience, as well as some movie roles to his credit.

However, Fox was primarily known for several prominent television shows, like Freshman Dorm, Party Of Five, and Haunted.

After Haunted in 2002, Fox had only appeared one role in a short 14-minute video, A Token For Your Thoughts, for the two-year span between Haunted and Lost.

Lost sort of revitalized his career.

Matthew Fox went on to appear in several unforgettable films, like Smokin’ Aces, We Are Marshall, Vantage Point, Emperor, World War Z, and Extinction.

But in 2015, he took a break from acting in order to focus on his family, and also explore his dream pursuits, like writing and music.

After seven years, in 2022, Fox roared back from retirement and scored the lead role in Last Light — the following year, he appeared in a supporting role in C*A*U*G*H*T.

Despite seven years spent hiding from the limelight (an eon in Hollywood), Matthew Fox's net worth is estimated at a solid $6 million.

4 Michael Emerson

Michael Emerson's Net Worth (Estimated): $8 Million

The extremely talented Michael Emerson won an Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series," for his unforgettable portrayal of Ben Linus in Lost.

Emerson, a veteran actor then and now, started his career almost 15 years before he joined the Lost cast, debuting in a 1990 television movie, Orpheus Descending.

But he had to wait seven years for his next role, and after toiling for the better part of a decade, Emerson finally landed a role in The Journey.

However, all of his roles were either short, or in short films. In fact, on Lost, he secured a recurring role in season two, and his impressive performance earned him a lead role from season three onward.

Lost cemented Michael Emerson's bustling career, there is no doubt about that.

But his commitment to acting afforded him the opportunity to appear in two more excellent series: Person Of Interest, and the ongoing (and criminally underrated) series Evil.

For Person of Interest, he reportedly earned $100,000 per episode.

Through his immense acting talent, Emerson accumulated an estimated $8 million.

3 Terry O'Quinn

Terry O'Quinn's Net Worth (Estimated): $8 Million

The most experienced actor among the Lost cast, Terry O'Quinn began his career with a short role in F.D.R.: The Last Year in 1980.

O'Quinn was already a well-established actor (as he has appeared in several movies and series) but Lost stands as one of the high points of his career.

Terry was awarded an Emmy in the category of "Best Supporting Actor" in 2007, for his exceptional portrayal of John Locke on Lost.

After more than four decades in the industry, with 126 remarkable acting projects, and at 72 years old, O'Quinn doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

His latest series is a spin-off of The Walking Dead, and an upcoming project is the movie Unsung Hero.

Emmy winner Terry O'Quinn's net worth is still surging, and he has piled up an impressive estimated $8 million.

2 Daniel Dae Kim

Daniel Dae Kim's Net Worth (Estimated): $10 Million

South Korean-born American actor Daniel Dae Kim started his career with the 1991 movie American Shaolin.

After landing myriad short roles in several movies and series, Daniel Dae Kim obtained a prominent role in the series Crusade in 1999.

However, his career did not take off in earnest until he landed the role of Jin-Soo Kwon on Lost.

After Lost, Daniel Dae Kim appeared in many notable projects on the small and large screens, such as Hawaii Five-O, Insurgent, Allegiant, Hellboy, New Amsterdam, Mech Cadets, and Pantheon.

A joint Screen Actors Guild Award winner (along with the entire Lost cast), Daniel Dae Kim's most recent project is the highly anticipated Avatar: The Last Airbender.

In the near future, he will appear in the series Butterfly.

1 Josh Holloway

Josh Holloway's Net Worth (Estimated): $12 Million

While he's the wealthiest actor among the Lost cast, Josh Holloway has had an odd, on-and-off career trajectory.

The Californian actor got his first acting gig in 1993, in a music video for Aerosmith's hit "Cryin.'"

But Holloway didn't get roles in any movies or series until 1999's Angel, in which he had a short role as a "good-looking guy."

Josh Holloway then had to wait for two more years, before landing a role in the 2001 flop Cold Heart.

Finally, after some short and unsuccessful movie roles, the model-handsome Holloway was selected for Lost, cast as James "Sawyer" Ford.

After Lost, Josh scored another career-changing role in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol — but then, he kept a low profile for two years.

In 2013, he appeared in Paranoia and Battle Of The Year, but neither movie proved popular with audiences.

After his turns in the decent film Sabotage and on the television series Intelligence, Holloway went AWOL for another two years.

In 2016, he returned to the series Colony, but after that, he seemed to struggle with finding work — audiences last saw him in a short role in Yellowstone in 2021.

It's surprising – and kind of depressing – that an actor of his caliber isn't as busy as we'd expect, on television or in film.

In 2023, there was a blip in the news suggesting Holloway might appear in a short role in the series Duster — but it, like many other projects in development, was halted by last year's industry strikes.

In spite of his sporadically active career, Josh Holloway managed to amass the highest estimated net worth among the Lost cast, racking up $12 million between his acting and modeling work.
