Mike Farrell has an estimated net worth of $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Mike Farrell net worth page (figures as of August 23, 2026).

Mike Farrell is an American actor who was born on February 6, 1939, in South St. Paul, Minnesota, one of four children. His family moved to Hollywood, California, when he was two, and his father worked as a carpenter on film sets. He attended school in the same class as actor Natalie Wood, graduated from Hollywood High School and served in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959. After his discharge he worked at various jobs before becoming an actor.

In the 1960s he guest-starred in series such as Lassie, The Monkees and I Dream of Jeannie. In 1968 he originated the role of Scott Banning on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, and in 1970 he starred in the CBS series The Interns. His big break came in 1975, when he joined M*A*S*H as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt and stayed for the remaining eight years of the show. He later produced Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams, and starred in the series Providence from 1999 to 2002.

How Mike Farrell makes his money

Television series are the center of his earnings. A steady role on M*A*S*H from 1975 to 1983 made him a household name, and the show's long afterlife in reruns kept him visible for decades.

Behind the camera he earned extra fees. During M*A*S*H he wrote five episodes and directed four, and he produced the 1998 film Patch Adams.

Later series and voice work extended his career. He starred in Providence from 1999 to 2002, voiced Jonathan Kent in Superman: The Animated Series in 1996, and guest-starred on Murder, She Wrote, Justice League and Desperate Housewives.

Commercials supplemented early income. In the early 1970s he was a spokesman for products including Maytag dryers, Butter-Nut coffee and Plymouth automobiles.
