The time has come to say goodbye to the Fab Five after a 10-season run—but not before we discuss the salaries and net worths of the Queer Eye cast members: Antoni Porowski, Jeremiah Brent, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Tan France, and Bobby Berk. Though it’s never been revealed exactly what the Queer Eye stars earn for the Netflix series, it’s clear they’ve done preeetty well for themselves, turning their newfound stardom into book deals, hosting gigs, and businesses. But the question begs: Who is the richest Fab Five member of them all?
As a reminder: Variety previously revealed that each of the five original members was paid only $7,500 per episode for the first two seasons, with Bobby even claiming he “lost money being on the show.” However, once the show became a smash hit, that paycheck got a bump—and though it’s not clear how much they earned, Karamo hinted to Business Insider in 2018 that Netflix was compensating them well. Read on for more deets on the Fab Five’s other projects (and how much they’re all worth today as a result!).
Antoni Porowski: $8 million
Yep, Queer Eye’s resident food and wine expert has money in the bank, having published two cookbooks since joining the series: Antoni in the Kitchen and Let’s Do Dinner. Let’s not forget his two Nat Geo docuseries—No Taste Like Home with Antoni Porowski and Best of the World with Antoni Porowski—which have helped contribute to his reported $8 million fortune.
Tan France: $8 million
From co-hosting two seasons of Next in Fashion to releasing a bestselling memoir, Naturally Tan, there’s a good reason why the Fab Five’s fashion expert is now worth $8 million—he never stops hustling!!
Jonathan Van Ness: $8 million
Beauty guru JVN is also worth an impressive $8 million, thanks to several comedy tours, a memoir, an essay collection, a podcast, a Netflix series called Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, and—of course—their popular (and inclusive!) haircare brand, JVN Hair.
Karamo Brown: $9 million
As Queer Eye’s culture expert for the past 10 seasons, Karamo managed to land himself his own NBC talk show, Karamo, which he’s hosted since 2022. He’s also an author and co-founder of the skincare and grooming brand MANTL, which ended up closing in 2025 (but definitely help contribute to Karamo’s $9 million net worth).
Bobby Berk: $10 million
He may no longer be a part of the Fab Five, but the interior design expert is still reaping the benefits of his eight seasons on the show (if his $10 million fortune is any evidence). Bobby is now host of HGTV’s Junk or Jackpot?, as well as the founder of his own design firm, which sells everything from wallpaper, to furniture, to art.
Jeremiah Brent: $18 million
Believe it or not, the newest addition to the Fab Five (who joined the team for season nine) is actually the richest, with an estimated $18 million net worth! Keep in mind, however, that this is a combined net worth with Jeremiah’s husband, Nate Berkus, with whom he hosted TLC’s Nate & Jeremiah by Design and HGTV’s Nate & Jeremiah: Save My House before appearing on Queer Eye. Keep up the good work, Jeremiah!
