Gossip Girl: The Main Characters, Ranked By Wealth

It’s tough to compare the wealth of the Gossip Girl characters, mainly because almost everyone on the show is New York royalty, but the richest Gossip Girl characters appear to have a combination of old family money and their own new earnings at their disposal. There are certain things that can help fans determine the personal finances of each character, especially since everybody is so obsessed with money and trust funds. The Archibalds, Basses, van der Woodsens, and Waldorfs are some of the richest people in New York. The series is filled with luxurious penthouses and glam suites with nary a Lower East Side walkup in sight. It takes a little deep diving to understand exactly who’s the richest in Gossip Girl.
