One of the best-known faces in the CSI universe is that of actor David Caruso, who played "Horatio Caine" on CSI Miami

It was over a span of 10 years that Caruso played "Horatio," doing so first in 2002 and filling the CSI: Miami role through its 2012 finale. But, in reality, the actor achieved more than just fame thanks to the character, also accruing a great fortune over that decade.

CSI Miami: David Caruso's impressive net worth

Although Caruso was already a well-known actor before joining the CSI world, his greatest success came on CSI: Miami. The show funded much of the fortune he now possesses, which is an estimated net worth of $35 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

As expected, Caruso was very well rewarded for starring on CSI: Miami. It's estimated that he made around $375,000 per episode on the show, and he acted in over 200 episodes!

A large salary without a doubt. Although other actors—such as Charlie Sheen, Hugh Laurie, or Mariska Hargitay—have charged more money for their work on major TV series, Caruso was not far off from their numbers.
