Sarah Jessica Parker is now 60. Carrie Bradshaw would probably call it "the new 40," pop open a bottle of champagne, and write a column about how time is just a concept. But we’re not here for philosophy — we’re here to find out how the stars of the cult series have changed, what they’re doing now, and how much money this saga of friendship, love, and designer shoes brought them.
Carrie Bradshaw: 60 Years Old, Millions of Dollars, and Eternal Love for Manolo
Sarah Jessica Parker could easily rest on her laurels — her name is permanently etched in pop culture history. But her schedule is still tighter than Fashion Week, as if the ‘90s — when she ran around New York in tulip skirts — never ended.
Financial cocktail. In the final seasons of Sex and the City, SJP reportedly earned about $3 million per episode (though HBO never confirmed the exact figures). For the two films, she received $35 million. The sequel And Just Like That brought her another $10 million for 10 episodes — not counting her producer profits.
Business over retirement. Her shoe brand SJP Collection and her wine line Invivo X are more than just hobbies — they’re multimillion-dollar ventures. Still, fans are waiting for the day she finally releases that long-awaited book — memoirs in Carrie’s voice.
Miranda Hobbes: From Lawyer to Politics and Back Again
Cynthia Nixon is the only one of the quartet who tried to trade acting for big-time politics (she unsuccessfully ran for governor of New York in 2018). But viewers wouldn’t let her go. Controversial twist. In And Just Like That, her character Miranda suddenly leaves her husband Steve for the very particular character Che Diaz. Fans were outraged — but Nixon simply shrugged: "Life is unpredictable, especially after 50."
Salary. For the revival, she earned the same $10 million as SJP and Davis — apparently, producer ambitions count for more than gubernatorial ones.
Charlotte York: Eternal Romantic With a Sharp Contract
Kristin Davis is the only one who still looks like she just walked off the cover of Vogue in 2004. But behind that glamorous image lies some serious strategy.
Finances. In the original series, she earned $350,000 per episode, and for the revival — still $350,000, totaling $10 million in the end, just like her co-stars. Clearly, she mastered the art of negotiation just as well as the art of marriage.
Personal life. After adopting a daughter and a son, Davis rarely appears in public, preferring life in a cozy mansion.
Samantha Jones: "Thank You, Next"
Kim Cattrall could have become the richest of the quartet — but she chose principles instead. She earned $10 million for the second movie (more than Davis and Nixon!) but turned down the third — and a $15 million cameo in the sequel. "What’s the point if it doesn’t bring you joy?" she said.
Feud with SJP. Their conflict has been ongoing since 2017: Cattrall called Parker "cruel", and Parker responded with silence. As of 2025, Kim still says, "We were never friends."
Mr. Big: From Sex Symbol to Persona Non Grata
Chris Noth (John James Preston) could have remained a cult icon — but in 2021, his career collapsed after sexual misconduct allegations. Scandal. Several women accused him of inappropriate behavior. HBO instantly cut his scene from the sequel’s finale, and brands dropped their contracts with him.
Where is he now? Noth avoids the public eye, occasionally appearing on podcasts. Fans wonder if we’ll ever see Big again — but the chances are slim to none.
In the End
Sex and the City turned its main stars into millionaires — but didn’t guarantee a happy ending. As Charlotte might say, the key isn’t believing in love — it’s believing in a good accountant.
