While not every actor managed to become a major star afterwards, they all certainly enjoyed plenty of success. Within this list, we will rank the cast of the musical movies, based on their net worth.

Kaycee Stroh (Net Worth: $300,000)

Kaycee Stroh portrayed the character, Martha Cox, during the High School Musical series and was one of the supporting characters throughout. However, her role certainly increased as the trilogy grew.

Cox might not have been given as much attention as other characters throughout the three movies, but she was certainly popular amongst fans. Always having an incredibly bubbly personality, it was easy to see why she was likeable. The role is certainly Stroh's most memorable to this point in her career, helping her grow a net worth of $300,000 so far.

Lucas Grabeel (Net Worth: $800,000)

Lucas Grabeel is another of High School Musical's main cast who does play one of the unlikeable Evans siblings. However, his character Ryan certainly does have a few greater characteristics than his sister. Throughout the series, he does attempt to do the right thing and in the end, proves to be a good person deep down. A talented singer and dancer, he is someone who just wants to be in the show as often as possible.

This role remains Grabeel's most well known and it has helped him build his net worth of $800,000, which he owes to his time in these Disney films.

Chris Warren (Net Worth $1 Million)

Chris Warren is next on the list with a net worth of $1 million, which is largely through his time in the three High School Musical movies where he was one of the main supporting characters.

Chris played the character Zeke Baylor who had his own dreams and ambitions, which were to be a chef. During the series he does actually follow through on that dream as well, getting the opportunity to be a chef in the second movie. While he's not one of the main characters, Zeke does appear often throughout the films and became very popular with fans.

Olesya Rulin (Net Worth: $1 Million)

Olesya Rulin is next up on the list, with a reported net worth of $1 million. Rulin plays the sweet character, Kelsi Nielsen, who is the piano player in the original movie. She is someone who starts off without many friends but quickly gains many throughout due to her amazing personality.

Corbin Bleu (Net Worth: $4 Million)

Next on the list is Corbin Bleu, who has managed to grow himself a net worth of $4 million so far in his career. His main accomplishment still remains being part of the High School Musical franchise though, where he is one of the most popular characters.

Bleu plays Chad Danforth within these movies, who is one of Troy's best friends and fellow member of the basketball team. Much like many other members of the cast, he took his singing ability and created his own albums. The popularity of his role in High School Musical also opened up the door for him to be given his own Disney movie. Bleu was the lead name for Jump In, which also highlighted his dancing abilities.

Ashley Tisdale (Net Worth: $10 Million)

Ashley Tisdale was already a Disney star prior to becoming part of High School Musical as she was a cast member on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The Disney Channel show was incredibly popular and it helped Tisdale become a well-known name. However, it was certainly her role as Sharpay Evans that put her on the map as a major name, helping to establish her $10 million net worth.

Playing one of the lead roles in Troy Bolton, Efron was a key part of all three movies with the story focusing on his relationship with Gabriella.
