It may be the end of Ramsay Street as the beloved soap from down under has been axed for good, but the Aussie show will always have a place in our hearts.
After 37 years on our screens, it was revealed yesterday that Neighbours would cease production this coming June.
But though the lights on the fictional suburb of Erinsborough may be fading, the show has brought us some of the best entertainers in the business who have gone on to amass fortunes from their successes.
So, here’s the biggest earners from Neighbours past and present…
Holly Valance, £882.7million
After appearing as Felicity ‘Flick’ Scully during the late 90s and early 00s, Holly left the show to pursue her music career, with her single ‘Kiss Kiss’ reaching the top spot in the UK.
Since then, the 38 year old has had roles in shows including Prison Break and CSI: Miami and even came fourth on Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.
As a result, the talented star has around £15million of her own money, with most of her fortune coming from her marriage to Nick Candy.
Nick is a British property mogul andaccording to The Richest has a net worth of $1.1billion.
Chris Hemsworth, £97.2million
Chris Hemsworth briefly appeared in the soap as Jamie Kane, though he soon moved to the glitz and glam of Hollywood.
Chris is perhaps best known for his role in the Marvel films as Thor and was named by Forbes as the second highest paid actor in 2019.
Kylie Minogue, £89.7million
Kylie captured hearts across the world thanks to her role as Charlene Robinson.
And while she initially earned around £150 per episode, the 53 year old has established a huge fortune thanks to her business savvy ways.
The Spinning Around singer is worth £89.7million which is largely due to her extremely successful music career.
However, Kylie has a range of other pursuits under her belt including her own wine, a fragrance line, range of books and even a furniture deal.
Russell Crowe, £89.7million
Playing Kenny Larkin for four episodes in the late 80s, Russell Crowe went on to achieve masses of success in the world of Hollywood.
Sticking to acting, the megastar has had roles in blockbusters including The Insider and A Beautiful Mind.
In fact, he won an Oscar for his role in Gladiator.
Away from the world of film and TV, the 57 year old has also tried his hand at acting and also has a considerable property portfolio.
Liam Hemsworth, £21million
Chris’ brother Liam also started his acting career in Neighbours and starred as Josh Hunk between 2007 and 2008.
The 32 year old has since appeared in hits on the big screen such as The Hunger Games and The Last Song.
