We love sitting down to watch new episodes of NCIS. The CBS show follows a team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, who investigate crimes involving the US Navy and Marine Corps. The police procedural drama has been on screens for nearly twenty years now, so unsurprisingly, the stars of the show have amassed some incredible fortunes.
But what are those stars worth? From Pauley Perette and Mark Harmon, to still current stars like Wilmer Valderrama, keep reading to find out more about the shows stars' incredible wealth...
Mark Harmon
Mark Harmon led the series as Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former US Marines sniper turned special agent from 2003 to 2021. And this success is reflected in his fortune, as the 71-year-old actor, who is also known for his roles in the films Freaky Friday and Chasing Liberty, has accumulated a net worth of $120 million.

David McCallum
Known now for his role as Donald 'Ducky' Mallard in NCIS, Scottish actor David McCallum rose to fame in the 1960s for playing secret agent Illya Kuryakin in the television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. Like his co-star Mark, he has been part of the cast since season one, but unlike Mark David still remains in the show today. His reported net worth is $15 million, with a salary per episode of $175,000.
