With all of those credits and accolades to his name, you would assume Rhys has a pretty decent net worth, but the actor makes way more than you think. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Rhys has a combined net worth of $10 million. It's also reported that the multi-millionaire earns himself around $100,000 per episode, and with a season two of Perry Mason on the way, you can expect that amount to continue to grow (via Deadline).

Rhys is taking on both actor and producer duties
