In 2004, a brand-new series descended upon the entertainment industry like a storm; everyone was talking about it, due to its surprisingly unique, mystery box-like storytelling.
Of course, the series was Lost, which is now an iconic piece of television history.
Although Lost concluded its run 14 years ago, Lost fans haven't forgotten the complex twists and turns of the show; today, the series is still the talk of the town.
Many viewers regard four-time Emmy winner Lost as the best television show of all time, while others praise the series for transforming modern TV, ushering in a new age of prestige, and helping the medium to rival film in terms of quality.
Of course, very few regard it as overrated (reflexive opposition always makes itself known), but the point is, Lost remains front and center in discussions of television's most groundbreaking series.
Nominated for a staggering 54 Emmys, the concept behind Lost was (in several respects) simple: A passenger jet crashed, and its survivors were marooned on what appeared to be a remote island.
Still, the unexpected sci-fi themes of the story, its fast-paced approach, and Lost's sudden and mysterious plot twists came together, and made the series impeccable.
Lost didn't just make a huge amount of money; it also made stars, and members of the Lost cast who were already famous enhanced their positions in Hollywood as a result of its prominence.
Some of the Lost cast went on to work on new and different projects, and amassed a lot of money due to the fame Lost bestowed upon them.
Let's see how every major member of the Lost cast is doing right now, and look at how much wealth they have amassed 14 years after their career's most successful TV show drew to a controversial close.

But he had to wait seven years for his next role, and after toiling for the better part of a decade, Emerson finally landed a role in The Journey.

1 Josh Holloway
Josh Holloway's Net Worth (Estimated): $12 Million
While he's the wealthiest actor among the Lost cast, Josh Holloway has had an odd, on-and-off career trajectory.
The Californian actor got his first acting gig in 1993, in a music video for Aerosmith's hit "Cryin.'"
But Holloway didn't get roles in any movies or series until 1999's Angel, in which he had a short role as a "good-looking guy."
Josh Holloway then had to wait for two more years, before landing a role in the 2001 flop Cold Heart.

| Josh Holloway's Net Worth (Estimated) | $12 Million |
| Josh Holloway's Total Acting Projects | 31 |
| Josh Holloway's Total Episodes in Lost | 121 |
| Josh Holloway's Upcoming Projects | Duster |
After Lost, Josh scored another career-changing role in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol — but then, he kept a low profile for two years.
In 2013, he appeared in Paranoia and Battle Of The Year, but neither movie proved popular with audiences.
After his turns in the decent film Sabotage and on the television series Intelligence, Holloway went AWOL for another two years.
In 2016, he returned to the series Colony, but after that, he seemed to struggle with finding work — audiences last saw him in a short role in Yellowstone in 2021.
It's surprising – and kind of depressing – that an actor of his caliber isn't as busy as we'd expect, on television or in film.
In 2023, there was a blip in the news suggesting Holloway might appear in a short role in the series Duster — but it, like many other projects in development, was halted by last year's industry strikes.
In spite of his sporadically active career, Josh Holloway managed to amass the highest estimated net worth among the Lost cast, racking up $12 million between his acting and modeling work.
