Following a team of US Army doctors and support staff stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War, dramedy M*A*S*H hit TV screens in 1972 and ran for an epic 11 seasons. 

The much-loved sitcom was a spin-off of the 1970 feature film of the same name, which was in turn based on the 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker.

Sadly, some of the cast members of M*A*S*H have passed away in the years since the show wrapped, including Wayne Rogers, Harry Morgan, and McLean Stevenson.

However, many of its famous faces, including Loretta Swit and Alan Alda, are still around today – with some continuing to work into their twilight years. Read on to take a trip down memory lane and discover which star of M*A*S*H is the richest in 2024. All dollar amounts in US dollars.

Jeff Maxwell played the recurring role of hapless kitchen porter Igor Straminsky. He joined the show in season two and featured in various episodes until the season 11 finale.

While Maxwell's earlier appearances in the series went uncredited, he swiftly cemented his status as a fan favourite thanks to his comedic performance. 

M*A*S*H signalled a big break for the actor, whose previous roles had included an uncredited part in the 1974 horror comedy Young Frankenstein and a role in TV series The Waltons.

After M*A*S*H wrapped, Maxwell scored a small role in the 1984 comedy flick Night Patrol and also appeared in the 80s comedy series The New Gidget.

Now in his 70s, he has since stepped away from the camera, with his last credited performance being the 2001 comedy movie Divorce: The Musical.

Along with actor Ryan Patrick, Maxwell now hosts a podcast called M*A*S*H Matters, where they discuss the beloved series and Hollywood in general.

Online sources estimate Maxwell's net worth is a modest $300,000 (£235k).

Odessa Cleveland portrayed Lieutenant Ginger Bayliss, a recurring character throughout the first four seasons of M*A*S*H.

Before landing her role in the popular series, Cleveland had already flexed her acting chops in the 70s TV shows The D.A. and The Bold Ones: The New Doctors.

Following her M*A*S*H stint, Cleveland scored a role in the 1977 TV movie Father Knows Best: Home for Christmas and also made an uncredited appearance in the M*A*S*H spin-off Trapper John, M.D.

By the 80s, Cleveland had all but disappeared from the spotlight. However, after a 24-year hiatus, she made a surprise return to the screen in 2010 thanks to a role in thriller flick Death and Cremation.

Cleveland, now 79, has reinvented herself as a writer and poet, penning tomes such as the anthology Of Age and Edges.

Online sources estimate her net worth at a cool $2.5 million (£2m).

Loretta Swit brought the character of Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan to life. The only woman to feature in the main cast of M*A*S*H, Swit won two Emmy awards for her work on the show.

Before her critically acclaimed M*A*S*H performance put her firmly on the map, the actress had already appeared in numerous TV shows, including Mission: Impossible and Gunsmoke. She also had a role in the 1972 comedy flick Stand Up and Be Counted.

After M*A*S*H wrapped, Swit went on to enjoy a decade-spanning acting career. She's appeared in several small-screen hits, including The Love Boat, Diagnosis Murder, and Murder, She Wrote.

She's also graced the stage over the years, most notably starring in the one-woman play Shirley Valentine between the 1990s and the 2010s.

Now in her mid-80s, Swit's career has naturally slowed down in recent years. According to IMDb, her last credited performance was in the 2019 movie Play the Flute. 

Her time in the spotlight has earned her an estimated fortune of $4 million (£3m).

Jamie Farr played Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger throughout the entire run of M*A*S*H.

The role was initially recurring, though Farr scored series regular status by the fourth season after his comical character became a hit with viewers.

Farr launched his acting career back in 1955, making his debut screen appearance in the drama movie Blackboard Jungle. Years before he landed his M*A*S*H role, he'd actually served in Korea, and he later wore his own US Army dog tags while starring in the series.

Farr (pictured here with co-star Loretta Swit) went on to star in the short-lived M*A*S*H spin-off series AfterMASH.

Outside of the show that made his name, he's featured in a number of popular TV shows, including That '70s Show, Family Guy and Murder, She Wrote.

Now aged 89, Farr's most recently credited performance on IMDb is the 2019 TV series The Cool Kids.

His decade-spanning career has earned him an estimated total fortune of $6 million (£5m).

Gary Burghoff played the beloved Walter "Radar" O'Reilly during the first eight seasons of M*A*S*H. He's the only actor to have appeared in both the original M*A*S*H movie and the TV series. 

M*A*S*H made the actor a household name and he landed a prestigious Emmy award for his performance on the show in 1977.

Burghoff went on to star in the TV series AfterMASH, and W*A*L*T*E*R, a spin-off that never made it past the pilot episode. He also tried his hand at directing in 1992, helming the R-rated thriller flick Small Kill.

Now in his 80s, Burghoff has seemingly left the entertainment industry behind him, with his last credited acting role coming in the 2010 movie Daniel's Lot. But he's doubtlessly retired in style, with an estimated net worth of $6 million (£5m).

Latecomer Mike Farrell joined the cast of M*A*S*H in season four, playing Captain B.J. Hunnicutt.

Already an established actor prior to landing the role, Farrell made his screen debut in 1963. His impressive pre-M*A*S*H filmography included TV shows such as Lassie and Days of Our Lives, as well as a small part in the movie The Graduate.

After M*A*S*H, Farrell appeared in a slew of small-screen hits, including modern shows like Desperate Housewives, Supernatural, and American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

He's also turned his hand to producing, most notably working on the 1998 Robin Williams movie Patch Adams.

Now in his 80s, Farrell's last credited role was in the TV show NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service in 2019. His decades-long career has earned the actor an estimated fortune of $10 million (£8m).

Alan Alda played Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce in all eleven seasons of M*A*S*H.

He's the only actor to have appeared in every single episode of the show, and he won an impressive five Emmy awards for his efforts.

Already a veteran actor before joining the cast of M*A*S*H, Alda made his debut on The Phil Silvers Show in 1958. Other early credits included TV shows such as Naked City and Route 66.

Alda's impressive post-M*A*S*H filmography includes the Martin Scorsese movie The Aviator (2004), the Ben Stiller comedy Tower Heist (2011), and the critical darling Marriage Story (2019). He's also starred in shows such as The West Wing (for which he won a sixth Emmy), 30 Rock, and The Blacklist.

Alda has worked behind the camera over the years, directing episodes of M*A*S*H and movies such as The Four Seasons (1981) and A New Life (1988). And the 88-year-old shows no signs of slowing down, having most recently appeared in TV flick Ray Donovan: The Movie in 2022. 

Alda's admirable work ethic has earned him an estimated net worth of $50 million (£39m).
