The autumn of animated films is among us with the releases of Trolls Band Together (Nov. 17) and Wish (Nov. 22). It also marks the perfect time to do some tactical digging into which actor is pulling in the biggest bucks for lending their famous voices to the big and small screens.

The winner, with a whopping $700 million to his name according to Money Inc., is Matt Stone. The co-creator of South Park, who voices a multitude of characters including Kyle Broflovski and Kenny McCormick, has also contributed voiceover work to South Park video games and 2004's Team America.

Coming in close on his heels is South Park co-creator Trey Parker, whose net worth is $600 million. Along with voicing Stan Marsh and Eric Cartman, Park's voice over credits include 2017's Despicable Me 3.

We leave the world of South Park and enter into Family Guy territory for number three on the list. Creator Seth Macfarlane, who voices a multitude of characters including Peter Griffin and Stewie, has a net worth of $300 million. It's unsurprising, given that — along with Family Guy — Macfarlane is the brains behind the animated film Ted, which grossed a whopping $550 million worldwide.

Rounding out the top five list is two stars of The Simpsons — Hank Azaria ($90 million) and Harry Shearer ($85 million). Both voice an impressive list of memorable characters, with Azaria tackling Moe, Lou and the Sea Captain, and Shearer taking on Ned Flanders and Smithers.
