Which ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Alum Has the Highest Net Worth: Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, or Patrick Dempsey? – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomy recently aired its finale for Season 16. While the show still features Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, and James Pickens, Jr. since the first season, several cast members have left the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial over the years.

Fan favorites Sandra Oh (Cristina Yang), Patrick Dempsey (Derek McDreamy Shepherd), and Katherine Heigl (Izzy Stevens) all left at different points in the medical drama. Each actor has gone on to pursue other projects and found some level of success. So which Greys alum has the biggest bank account?

Greys fans went into mourning when the beloved Dr. Derek McDreamy Shepherd met his demise in Season 11. Catapulting to fame on the ABC prime time show, Dempsey had several film credits to his name before signing on. Appearing in teen romances such as Cant Buy Me Love and Loverboy, the Greys alum went on to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama and was also featured in the 1995 film Outbreak. Dempsey is now set to star in the upcoming political TV thriller Devils.

Yet even with big-screen success, Dempsey will be best known as McDreamy. When asked if he had a favorite episode from his 11 seasons on the show, Dempsey went back to the very beginning.

I have to say my favorite really was the pilot because we didnt know what was going to happen, and then there was that sense of discovery, he saidduring a Facebook Live interviewwithCosmpolitan U.K. in 2016. When I saw it for the first time, I thought the music was incredible and it was fun to be a part of such a strong ensemble. That was special. That first season was really remarkable.

Celebrity Net Worth lists Dempseys total at $60 million.

Heigl played the role of Izzie Stevens on the ABC hit series for almost six seasons. Making a somewhat controversial exit in 2010 due to her 2008 withdrawal from the Emmys, Heigl made some statements that didnt sit well with show creator Shonda Rhimes.

I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention, Heigl stated, according toEntertainment Weekly.

The Greys alum came to regret her comments, telling Howard Stern she apologized to Rhimes. I went in because I was really embarrassed, Heigl admitted, according toVanity Fair. So I went in to [see] Shonda and said, Im so sorry. That wasnt cool, and I should not have said that.

Though the actress moved on to pursue a film career, the damage had already been done and she garnered a reputation as difficult. Starring in several movies including Life As We Know It, One For The Money, and Killers, her career on the big screen did not take off as Heigl had hoped.

Now filming her upcoming Netflix seriesFirefly Lane along withScrubsalum Sarah Chalk, Heigl remains a famous face in Hollywood.

Celebrity Net Worth reports Heigls total at $30 million.

Greys fans may miss Dr. Cristina Yang, brilliantly portrayed by Oh, most of all. After playing the fiercely ambitious cardiac surgeon for 10 seasons, the actress moved on to other projects in 2014 including her current hit series Killing Eve.

Earning a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for her role as Eve Polastri on the BBC show, Oh was also the first Asian woman to earn a Best Actress Emmy Award nomination in 2018. The Greys alum landed a spot onTimescoveted Most Influential People of 2019 list.
