For the past half-decade, The Masked Singer—the FOX reality competition in which performers sing onstage while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks to conceal their identities from both a panel of judges and from audiences at home—has been one of television's most popular franchises, with viral videos dominating social media and viewership reaching highs of more than 23 million.
So it's no surprise that its celebrity judges, which include comedianKen Jeong, R&B crooner Robin Thicke and actress-model Jenny McCarthy among them, are making a pretty penny from their regular appearances on the show. And they'll add even more to their already considerable fortunes with the now-airing fourteenth season of The Masked Singer, which debuted on Wednesday, Jan. 7 with a fresh cast of concealed competitors. (If you missed the season 14 premiere, catch up on which sports legend got unmasked this week here.)
To celebrate a new season of The Masked Singer, let's break down who is the richest star on the judges' panel and how they accumulated their millions.

4. Robin Thicke net worth: $10 million
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Robin Thicke is singing pretty with an estimated net worth of $10 million, pulling from his work as an R&B-slash-pop singer, songwriter, record producer and television personality. As a musical artist, Thicke is best-known for the massive 2013 hit "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams), which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. He has released eight studio albums over the years, from 2002's A Beautiful World to 2021's On Earth, and in Heaven.
Thicke has been a judge on The Masked Singer since its inaugural season back in 2019; though his exact salary has not been made public, it's estimated that the TV star rakes in about $100,000 per episode. For Thicke, though, the real value of the show is how much fun he gets to have with his fellow judges, as he revealed during an interview on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast: "We're so silly and goofy. We're not taking it serious, except for the journeys and emotions that are coming from the stories. But we're up there just laughing our butts off."

3. Ken Jeong net worth: $14 million
Before he was a world-famous comedian and actor, Ken Jeong already had a plushy job as a physician, earning his M.D. at the UNC School of Medicine in 1995 and working as a certified internist at a Kaiser Permanente hospital in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. A noble profession, certainly, but it was when he segued that career into comedy that Jeong really started making the big bucks, a fortune that's currently estimated at a cool $14 million.
That figure comes from a combination of film roles (such as The Hangover, Knocked Up and Crazy Rich Asians), television work (along with The Masked Singer, Jeong starred in Community and Dr. Ken), comedy specials, stand-up bookings and more.
Like fellow panelists Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy, Jeong has been a main judge on the American version of The Masked Singer since its premiere in January 2019. And, like his peers, his The Masked Singer salary is estimated to be between $1.25 and $2.5 million per season.

2. Jenny McCarthy net worth: $25 million
A pop-culture personality for nearly four decades, Jenny McCarthy has amassed an estimated fortune of $25 million over the years thanks to her work as a model, Playboy Playmate, television host, actress, author and activist. Outside of The Masked Singer, for which she has been a permanent judge since 2019, McCarthy's television work includes Singled Out, The View and her own shows, the '90s sitcomJenny and the now-defunct talk show The Jenny McCarthy Show.
McCarthy's net worth also got a boost from her marriage to actor-singer Donnie Wahlberg, whose individual contributions largely stem from his long-running role in Blue Bloods and earnings from his beloved boy band New Kids on the Block.

1. Rita Ora net worth: $30 million
The newest addition to The Masked Singer judges panel is also the richest: British singer-actress Rita Ora, who joined the reality competition in season 11 as a replacement for Nicole Scherzinger, who exited the program to focus on her musical theatre career. (It clearly worked out for the latter performer — Scherzinger took home both a Tony and Olivier Award for her work in Sunset Boulevard.)
Ora's $30 million net worth comes from her musical career (she has put out three studio albums, the most recent being 2023's You & I), acting gigs (she's featured in the Fifty Shades and Descendants movie franchises), TV deals and various brand campaigns. Prior to joining the cast of the American version of The Masked Singer, Ora was a panelist on the British version of the singing competition for its first five seasons from 2020 to 2024.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. Episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
