Fox have added to their array of reality shows. The home of classics such as Hell’s Kitchen, So You Think You Can Dance and The Masked Singer recently confirmed that a new quasi-military training reality series titled Special Forces: The Ultimate Test will debut on the network in January 2023.
The official synopsis for the new show reads: “Household names endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. There are no votes, and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, quickly learn the meaning of “no guts, no glory” – and no glam.”
A star-studded cast of 18 contestants has already been selected, from all kinds of backgrounds. From former athletes and civil servants to singers, actors and other media personalities, the list of participants makes for very interesting reading.
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore, former rapper and singer Montell Jordan, as well as English novelist and screenwriter Mark Billingham are among those who are not quite at the level to compete in net worth terms with the rest of the cast members.
9 Beverley Mitchell - $2.5 Million
Beverley Mitchell is an actress and country music singer from Arcadia, California. She is best known for roles in movies like The Crow: City of Angels, Disney’s Right on Track and Saw 2. She has also starred on television, most notably as Lucy Camden-Kinkirk in 7th Heaven.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mitchell’s total wealth is currently valued at $2.5 million.
8 Jamie Lynn Spears - $6 Million
There was a bit of uproar on social media when it was announced that Jamie Lynn Spears would be joining the cast of the new Fox reality show. The Sweet Magnolias actress is not everyone’s cup of tea, mostly thanks to her long-running feud with sister Britney Spears.
Spears is said to have a net worth of $6 million.
7 Mel B - $6 Million
English singer Mel B is also currently estimated to have a net worth of around $6 million. The former Spice Girl is well known not just for her music, but also her extensive portfolio as a reality show judge on X-Factor, America’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer Australia.
On Special Forces: The Ultimate Test, Mel B will remember what it feels like to be a contestant on a reality show once again.
6 Danny Amendola - $8 Million
Danny Amendola only announced his retirement from football in July, just a few months before he was confirmed as part of the cast line-up for Special Forces. The former wide receiver last played for the Houston Texans, having previously represented St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots, among others.
Amendola’s 13-year-long career earned him a reported net worth of $8 million.
5 Jason Fox - $10 Million
British TV personality and former soldier Jason Fox is one with a very vested interest in Special Forces: The Ultimate Test. The show is adapted from a similar UK-based version titled SAS: Who Dares Wins. Fox is the longest serving member of the directing staff for that particular show.
The 50-year-old’s current net worth is estimated to stand at around $10 million.
4 Drew Pinsky - $25 Million
Dr. Drew Pinsky – often just referred to as Dr. Drew – is the famous former long-time host of the syndicated radio show Loveline. Pinsky would usually offer medical and relationship advice to callers with different problems.
He also currently runs a private practice in South Pasadena, California. Over the years, Dr. Drew has amassed a neat net worth of around $25 million.
3 Mike Piazza - $70 Million
It is no surprise, perhaps, that some of the biggest records of wealth on this list are the preserve of former top-level athletes. Mike Piazza played as a baseball catcher for about 15 years till 2007, when he retired from the sport.
Piazza is considered one of the all-time baseball greats, and has tried his hand at acting since his retirement. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that he is currently worth $70 million.
2 Dwight Howard - $140 Million
Another big time athlete who will be appearing on Special Forces: The Ultimate Test is Dwight Howard, who is currently contracted to the Lakers. The 36-year-old has been plying his trade in the NBA since 2004, when Orlando Magic snapped him up during that year’s draft.
Father of five Howard is believed to be worth $140 million today.
1 Anthony Scaramucci - $200 Million
Former Donald Trump White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci stands head and shoulders above his new Special Forces cast-mates’ net worth. The New York-born financier made most of his wealth through investment banking.
After leaving his job at Goldman Sachs in 1996, Scaramucci set up his own shop before eventually venturing into politics in the 2010s. Now 58 years old, his total wealth is valued at $200 million.
