As fans await an official announcement regarding the cast lineup of both stars and professional dancers for Dancing With the Stars season 30, which premieres in less than one month’s time, The Richest has shared a countdown of the richest cast members of the show, starting with longtime professional dancer Derek Hough.
According to the report, the 36-year-old, who appeared as a pro partner on 17 of the ABC series’ last 29 seasons before taking on a judge position in 2020, is worth $ 4 million.
Valentin Chmerkovskiy Is The Fourth Richest ‘DWTS’ Dancer
The report went on to reveal that judge above Hough is his fellow professional dancer, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, 35, who has an estimated net worth of $ 5 million.
As Dancing With the Stars fans may know, Valentin, or Val, has been featured on 16 of the show’s seasons and is expected to continue to be featured as a professional dancer as the show continues.
Val has won Dancing With the Stars twice, once with gymnast Laurie Hernandez and another time with Rumor Willis.
Karina Smirnoff Is Reportedly Worth $ 6 Million
Karina Smirnoff, who appeared as a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars for a total of 18 seasons, is worth a reported $ 6 million.
As the age of 43, Smirnoff has won just one mirrorball trophy on the show with partner J.R. Martinez during the series’ 13th season.
Although Smirnoff was a favorite of fans, she has not been seen on the show since 2016 and has made no announcement in regard to potentially making a return for a future season.

In addition to appearing as a professional dancer on five seasons of the show and winning two of them with Apolo Anton Ohno and Hélio Castroneves, Julianne acted as a judge on the show for three years.
