When it comes to your choices of Netflix series, Elite is easily one of the most popular shows, and rightfully so! The TV series follows the lives of the rich and famous students of Las Encinas where it seems the drama can't stop following them.
Although the show has had a few new faces join the cast, all while some fan faves left for good, it has remained as juicy as it was since season one. With murders, sex, and drugs (and lots of it) taking the reign of most storylines, fans always wonder who the real actors are behind the notorious characters.
While they play some of the most wealthy students on the show, just how rich is the cast in real life, and more so, who, in fact, is the richest Elite cast member? Let's dive in! Or as they'd say on Elite, "Vamos!"
Danna Paola Has A $10 Million Net Worth
Danna Paola is certainly a force to be reckoned with. The star played the iconic character, Lucrecia Montesinos Hendrich, also known as "Lu" and we could not imagine anyone else playing the role as well as she did.
The star was born and raised in Mexican before getting her big break as a child star in both music and acting. Well, when she landed her role on Elite, she was easily one of the biggest names attached to the series.
Considering her success in the limelight, which includes playing Elphaba at the age of 18, the youngest person to ever play the Wicked role, it's no surprise that she has managed to amass a net worth of $10 million. Mhm. $10 million! Talk about playing a rich character, and being hella rich in real life, amirite?

The actor has risen to fame so quickly that he even got invited to the 2022 Met Gala. Considering the esteemed event is reserved for A-list stars only, it's evident that Manu has managed to become a pretty big deal.
Manu graced the Met Gala red carpet wearing head to toe Moschino. During his red carpet interviews, Manu revealed that this was not only his very first Met Gala, but his very first time in New York City. Imagine going to NYC for the first time solely to attend the Met Gala? #Goals!
