Summary

• Billions showcases the ultra-wealthy elite of Wall Street's high finance world, delving into their cutthroat competition and lavish lives.

• From the $9 billion net worth of Bobby Axelrod to Grigor Andolov's $10-20 billion fortune, Billions explores wealth, power, and consequences.

Showtime's hit financial drama Billions finished its storylines with seven seasons. Loosely based on real-life people who successfully navigate Wall Street and the sector of high finance, the show provides glimpses into the cutthroat competition among hedge fund managers, U.S. lawyers, and the lavish lifestyles of the ultra-wealthy one-percenters who run America. The series plays as a tense drama as Paul Giamatti plays the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Chuck Roades, who goes after hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod.

Things changed over the years, with Axelrod selling his company to a new billionaire named Michael Prince. Through it all, Billionaire introduces several players who work for and alongside Axe Capital, many of whom become millionaires and others who are worth billions of dollars. That is what has made the show so interesting, seeing how the richest of the rich deal with their lives, and how they are all just one wrong move away from losing it all. With season 7 ending Billions, not everyone kept their wealth.

14 Ben Kim

$5 Million

Ben King started off his career at Axe Capital as an analyst and ended up being promoted to the position of Portfolio Manager for the company in season 3. The starting salary for his position is around $150,000 plus bonuses, and then he has his commission based on his sales compensation. By the time he reached his position on the show, he would be making over $1 million a year.

Ben Kim is also someone who doesn't look or act like a millionaire.

Billions has also revealed that he made his company at least $500 million and that means he has at least a net worth of $5 million based on his value to the firm. Ben Kim is also someone who doesn't look or act like a millionaire, as he comes across as comic relief, or at least a lighter character than many of the movers and shakers on the show. He is also one of the only truly likable characters on the show, which is full of people who are willing to step on anyone to get what they want in the end.

13 Dudley Mafee

$5-$7 Million

Dudley Mafee is a former employee of Axe Capital, and that is where he became a millionaire. He was also a fan favorite on the show, mostly because he wasn't ruthless like his fellow employees and treated people with kindness. However, he also earned his millions.

He made trades on the show that were worth more than $20 million and there was even a moment when Bobby Axelrod gave him $1.2 million in an episode as a "cold storage," which is a method of keeping assets offline to improve the security.

In his five years before leaving Axe, he was averaging around $750,000 a year in base pay added to his commission and bonuses. After leaving Axe, he began working for Taylor Mason Capital, and he continued to make a nice salary, although his net worth was nowhere near that of some of Axe Capita's other traders. Despite this, he was still very well off when he left Axe.

12 Orrin Bach

$10-$15 Million

Orrin Bach is the Legal Representative for Axe Capital and its employees. A former law professor on Billions, Bach has not only helped Bobby Axelrod maintain his fortune and keep him out of trouble, but he also made a fortune for himself in the process.

It was working for Axelrod that made Bach a millionaire because he once showed a check on an episode of Billions where it displayed a seven-figure annual salary just to be on his retainer fees. He also bragged that he made $1,000 an hour.

His net worth on Billions is easily over $10 million based on comments like that and the money he made for doing what he did to help Bobby for all those years. Bach even returned in the series finale as he came back to help monitor Prince's arrival at Camp David. Having him there helped bring Prince down and help Axe get back to where he always deserved to be. It was clear, Back earned another large sum of money for this.

11 Wendy Rhoades

$20 Million

While her loyalties are torn between her boss Axe and her husband Chuck, two bitter rivals, the relationship dynamic has not prevented Wendy Rhoades from doing well for herself. As a performance coach who trains Axe Capital employees how to handle huge monetary swings, Wendy is said to be worth roughly $20 million.

Part of this figure comes from her annual salary working for the prestigious Axe Capital hedge fund, and another huge portion comes from the bonus she received from Axe following the Ice Juice endeavor. Initially awarded a $5 million bonus, Bobby doubled the amount to $10 million.

When she asked for a 2% stake in the company, Axe declined and countered with 1% if and when they sell. She also made some nice money at the end when Axe was able to divert money from Prince to the employees.

10 Dollar Bill

$30 Million

Dollar Bill Stearns is one of Axe Capital's best earners, yet lives such a frugal lifestyle that it's hard to pin down his exact net worth. Thankfully, it's mentioned in ing during one episode that Dollar Bill is worth roughly $30 million. This is one of the few times that people mention an exact total, since most of the characters in Billions are busy hiding what they can to protect themselves since they know the government is there to try to take anything it can from these people at any time.

His low-key demeanor betrays a much more modest financial status.

With two separate families to , Bill doesn't have the same financial luxury as some of the other characters. His low-key demeanor betrays a much more modest financial status, but in one episode it is revealed that he owns a dry cleaning business that launders money. He even stashes large sums of cash for emergencies, something he encourages Taylor to do.

9 Mike Prince

$100 Million

When Damian Lewis left Billions, there was a new billionaire to replace him in the cast. This was Corey Stoll's Mike Prince, and he not only replaced Axelrod as the new rich man on the show, but he was actually worth more than Axelrod - closing in on the wealth of Grigor Andolov.

Prince was a self-made billionaire who made his first riches when he sold his company to Microsoft but still kept control. By the end of season 5, Prince took over Axe cap and bought him Axelrod out.

There was one moment in Billions where Mike was talking about how much money he had and mentioned he was worth eleven figures, which puts him over $10 billion. He also took Bobby's money, but since the government tied up that fortune, Prince was worth north of $10 billion and had a chance to make even more. The problem was that Axe was brought back to ruin him and by the time they finished. Prince had lost $16 billion and was left with only $100 million to his name.

8 Jock Jeffcoat

$200 Million

As the long-running United States Attorney General and a constant thorn in the side of Chuck Jr. during seasons 3 and 4, Waylon "Jock" Jeffcoat has amassed quite a bit of wealth in his day. Jock wields tremendous power and influence over Wall Street and uses his vast intellect to make obscene amounts of money. Making nearly a quarter-million dollars a year for his salary as US AG alone, Jock's wily investments have led to a net worth somewhere around $200 million.

Jock came back in the final seventh season with Chuck visiting him in prison and offering him a release if he helps him get his position back as the SDNY.

This is the figure stated by the reporter Chuck secretly meets with. Jock came back in the final seventh season with Chuck visiting him in prison and offering him a release if he helps him get his position back as the SDNY. Even though Jock went to prison, it's likely that he has plenty of his money stashed away somewhere because that is how these people live. He might not have the full $200 million that he was worth before his arrest, but he surely has a lot of it to live out his life with.

7 Wags

$200+ Million

As Bobby's second in command at Axe Capital, the eminently quotable Mike "Wags" Wagner has a personal stake in the company that has earned him roughly $200 million during his lifetime. Despite losing $15 million in the Lehman investment and living a lavish lifestyle full of cocaine and hard partying, Wags earned a $9 million bonus from Axe during year-end.

Other indicators ing Wags' wealth include the time he casually donated $500,000 in season 1, which did not make a difference in his bank . Moreover, if Axe has been managing Wags' money since September 11, 2001, then he was doing extremely well. In the final episode of the series, Wags helps Axe take down Prince, and he is part of the team that receives a nice payoff thanks to Axe moving the money around. By the end, he moved on with Axe and seemingly is still very well off financially.

6 Chuck Rhoades Sr.

$200 Million

Chuck Rhoades Sr. is an old-money realtor and New York investor who is seen to own multiple upscale residences on the show. At one point, he bestows his son Chuck Jr. with a $27 million trust fund, indicating that he has money to throw around in spades. Unfortunately, Chuck Jr. squandered the fund on the Ice Juice investment and nearly went bankrupt.

As for Chuck Sr.'s pricey real estate holdings, and long-held status on Wall Street, where he made savvy investments his entire life, a $200 million valuation is more than reasonable. While his son went on to become someone dead set on bringing down billionaires, he did so because of his father's fortune. His dad seemed to put money over almost anything else, including his family, and Chuck took his anger at his dad out on many of the wealthy people he targeted over the years after that.

5 Jack Foley

$500 Million-$1 Billion

While it's impossible to know his exact net worth, details in the show infer that Black Jack Foley, aka the Kingmaker, is the sixth generation of his extremely wealthy family and owns a privately held company. Between his old-money background and immense influence in New York's political scene, where kickbacks and bribes are a dime a dozen, Black Jack Foley was worth somewhere between half a million and a billion dollars.

Foley uses his monetary resources to back political leaders like Sweeney and prevent players like Chuck Jr. from attaining such positions of power. However, this is a situation where it proves that people can't take it with them. While Jack Foley was worth up to a billion dollars, it couldn't save his life. The billionaire ended up dying of cancer, which was revealed in the final episode in a matter-of-fact manner. Foley was getting chemo treatment in the end, and that marked the end of the road for him.
