Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen is the Netflix show that made inheriting a crumbling country estate (and the enormous cannabis farm hidden underneath it) look oddly aspirational. Theo James plays Eddie Horniman, the army officer turned reluctant Duke of Halstead, with Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass, the very efficient brains of her family’s criminal empire.
Series two landed on Netflix on 3 September 2026 (the date was first reported by Variety), swapping some of the Home Counties mud for Italy and adding Hugh Bonneville, Michele Morrone, Benedetta Porcaroli and Sergio Castellitto to the line-up, plus appearances from boxer Chris Eubank Jr and Love Island host Maya Jama (whose fortune we’ve already sized up in our Celebrity Traitors rich list). Netflix had already renewed it for a third series before the second one even aired, so at the time of writing there’s plenty more Horniman family chaos to come.
So in a show obsessed with old money, new money and very dirty money, who’s actually got the most in the bank?
Quick disclaimer: these are Unifresher’s own estimates, based on reported fees, film and TV work, brand deals and public business records. They’re educated guesses, not bank statements, and they don’t account for things like tax, agents’ cuts or how much anyone spends on tweed.
The top tier: genuinely landed gentry
1. Hugh Bonneville – £12 million
The newcomer goes straight to the top of the estate. Bonneville spent six series and three films as Robert Crawley in Downton Abbey, one of the biggest British TV exports of the century, and has played Mr Brown in all three Paddington films. Add W1A, Notting Hill and decades of steady work, and we estimate he’s worth around £12 million. Playing a corrupt politician here is quite the change from marmalade.
2. Giancarlo Esposito – £10 million
Few actors have built a second act like Esposito’s. Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul turned him into TV’s favourite villain, and he’s since been Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, Stan Edgar in The Boys and joined Marvel for Captain America: Brave New World. Billionaire Stanley Johnston is a natural fit. We estimate around £10 million.
3. Theo James – £8 million
Before he was a duke, James was Four in the Divergent films and a vampire in the Underworld franchise. His run as Cameron in The White Lotus series two kicked off a hot streak that included leading The Gentlemen and Stephen King adaptation The Monkey in 2025. As the show’s leading man across two series, we estimate he’s worth around £8 million.
The comfortably minted middle
4. Ray Winstone – £7 million
Winstone has been doing menacing better than anyone for nearly 50 years, from Scum and Nil by Mouth to Sexy Beast, The Departed, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Marvel’s Black Widow. As jailed crime boss Bobby Glass he barely needs to raise his voice. We estimate around £7 million (and his daughter’s doing nicely too, see our Jaime Winstone net worth page).
5. Vinnie Jones – £6 million
The only cast member with an FA Cup winner’s medal, Jones went from Wimbledon’s Crazy Gang to Hollywood via Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both Guy Ritchie films. Gone in 60 Seconds and X-Men: The Last Stand followed, plus TV like Vinnie Jones in the Country. Gamekeeper Geoff is the perfect homecoming. We estimate around £6 million.
6. Joely Richardson – £5 million
Part of the Redgrave acting dynasty, Richardson is best known for six series of Nip/Tuck, plus 101 Dalmatians, The Patriot and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She brings genuine aristocratic poise to Sabrina, the Dowager Duchess. Decades of film and TV work suggest a fortune of around £5 million on our estimates.
7. Kaya Scodelario – £4 million
Effy from Skins grew up fast. Scodelario went on to lead the Maze Runner trilogy, joined Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge and fought alligators in Crawl. Susie Glass is arguably the real lead of The Gentlemen, and a second series as co-headliner of a Netflix hit won’t have hurt. We estimate around £4 million.
Rising stars and scene-stealers
8. Michele Morrone – £2.5 million
If you’ve seen 365 Days, you already know Morrone: the Polish erotic drama was a surprise global Netflix smash in 2020 and spawned two sequels. He’s also released music and modelled for luxury brands. Now he’s fixer Francesco ‘Cico’ Maldini in series two. We estimate around £2.5 million.
9. Daniel Ings – £1.5 million
Freddy Horniman is the chaotic older brother everyone deserves (in small doses), and Ings plays him brilliantly. You might also know him from Lovesick, as Prince Philip’s friend Mike Parker in The Crown, or from I Hate Suzie. Two series of scene-stealing put him at around £1.5 million on our estimates.
The mystery fortunes
A few of the new arrivals haven’t left enough of a public financial trail for us to put a sensible figure on them.
Sergio Castellitto is a veteran Italian actor and director playing mafia boss Marco Moretti, but there’s too little reliable information about his earnings to estimate fairly.
Benedetta Porcaroli is best known for Netflix’s Italian drama Baby and plays Countess Bella; her finances are, very sensibly, private.
Peter Ferdinando plays mercenary leader Zero and is a respected character actor, but there’s nothing public we’d trust to base a number on.

Add it all up and the ranked cast is worth roughly £56 million on our estimates. That’s a lot of estates, though as Eddie keeps finding out, owning a stately home is mostly about paying for the roof.
