The Shocking Net Worths and Enduring Legacies

The success of How I Met Your Mother, which ran for nine seasons, led to substantial wealth for the main cast, with several actors reportedly earning over $225,000 per episode by the final seasons. Their combined post-show careers have only amplified their financial standing, creating some surprising results when ranking their net worths in 2025.

Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel are often tied as the wealthiest members of the cast, both having an estimated net worth of around $50 million. Harris's diverse career, encompassing Broadway, hosting, and major film roles, and Segel's success as a writer and producer, have solidified their positions. Meanwhile, Cobie Smulders' long-running role as Maria Hill in the MCU has been a massive financial boon, placing her high on the list.

The enduring legacy of the show is evident in the continued use of its popular culture entities, such as the "Slap Bet" and "The Bro Code," and the constant comparison of the spin-off, *How I Met Your Father*, to the original. The show's creators, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, based the premise on their real-life experiences in New York, a detail that grounds the show in reality for many fans.

Untold Secrets: Behind the Scenes of MacLaren's Pub

Even years later, new details about the show's production continue to surface, satisfying the curiosity of dedicated fans. These facts provide a fascinating look at the real-life connections and creative decisions that made the show legendary:

• The Real-Life Couples: The character of Scooter, who was obsessed with Lily Aldrin, was played by David Burtka—Neil Patrick Harris’s real-life husband. Similarly, the recurring character Sandy Rivers, Robin's self-absorbed co-anchor, was played by Alexis Denisof, Alyson Hannigan's husband.
• The Legendary Props: The cast was allowed to keep one major prop from the set. Josh Radnor kept the famous French Blue Horn, the symbol of Ted's grand romantic gestures. Neil Patrick Harris took home Barney's Playbook, and Cobie Smulders kept the Canadian flag seen in Robin's apartment.
• The Pineapple Mystery: The infamous "Pineapple Incident" from Season 1 was one of the show's longest-running gags. The mystery of where the pineapple came from was never fully explained on the show, but the creators eventually revealed that it was a nod to a real-life incident where a man stole a pineapple from the porch of a sea captain to prove he was worthy of a woman's love.
• The End Was Filmed Early: The final scene featuring Ted’s children in the living room was filmed during Season 2 to ensure the actors, Lyndsy Fonseca (Daughter) and David Henrie (Son), did not age significantly over the nine-year run of the show. This decision was a testament to the creators' commitment to the original ending, despite fan backlash.

From the dramatic return of Neil Patrick Harris to the stage in *Art* to Cristin Milioti's Emmy-winning work on *The Penguin*, the cast of How I Met Your Mother continues to prove that their careers were far from over when Ted finally finished his story. They have moved on to new, diverse, and often surprising projects that cement their individual legacies in the entertainment world in 2025.
