Who Are the Richest ‘Parks and Recreation’ Stars?
If you’re talking about the famous and beloved NBC sitcoms, you have to mention Seinfeld, Friends, and The Office. If you wanted to throw Parks and Recreation in there, we wouldn’t stop you. It’s the show that helped make Chris Pratt a Hollywood star and ensured the other stars had their choice of what to do after the show ended. But who are the richest Parks and Recreation actors? We’re about to find out.

The starring actors that brought the memorable Parks and Recreation characters to life are all worth millions of dollars.

If you’re anything like us, you might be surprised to see Rob Lowe is the wealthiest of the Parks and Recreation actors. But if you think it about for a second, it makes sense.
First of all, Lowe’s acting credits date back to the late 1970s, so he had years working in show business to build up his net worth.
Also, some of the must-see Rob Lowe movies happen to be some of the all-time classics, including The Outsiders, Wayne’s World, and St. Elmo’s Fire.
And don’t forget all those ‘California: Find Yourself Here’ and DIRECTV commercials he did in the early 2000s.
Could we see a Parks and Recreation revival?
Many viewers want to return to Scranton, Pennsylvania, with a revival of The Office, but some of the cast members, including Steve Carell, don’t seem to be interested. We’re not saying it’s going to happen, but we’re more likely to see a Parks and Recreation reboot.
All the main players, including Offerman, Poehler, Platt, and Plaza, said they’d be open to returning to set for a revival. However, the big question mark is whether creators Greg Daniels and Michael Schur would return. Though the stars are happy to come back, neither of the creators have indicated they’re interested.
