Across seven seasons from 1979 to 1985, The Dukes of Hazzard followed cousins Bo and Luke Duke as they tore around rural Georgia in their souped-up Dodge Charger, the General Lee, while repeatedly clashing with corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg and bumbling Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane.
Alongside cousin Daisy and Uncle Jesse, the Duke boys became huge TV favourites, with the series at one point ranking second only to Dallas in the US ratings. The show ultimately spawned 147 episodes and several movies.

One aspect of The Dukes of Hazzard has proved especially problematic. The Duke boys' famous orange Dodge Charger, the General Lee, had a Confederate battle flag painted across its roof. Long controversial because of the flag's associations with slavery, segregation and white supremacy, the imagery has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years.
In 2015, Warner Bros stopped licensing The Dukes of Hazzard merchandise featuring the flag, while TV Land removed reruns of the series from its schedule amid the controversy. Not helping matters was the show's overwhelmingly white core cast, with Black performers largely confined to minor guest roles.
The General Lee's spectacular stunts came at a serious cost to America's stock of classic Dodge Chargers. More than 280 were reportedly destroyed during filming, with some estimates putting the figure closer to 300.
The carnage helped make surviving examples scarcer, while the show's enormous popularity turned the 1969 Charger into a pop culture icon, factors that have contributed to the model's desirability and high value among collectors today.
Hazzard County attracted some seriously wealthy visitors. Country legend Buck Owens (pictured) was worth an estimated $100 million (£74.1m) at the time of his death in 2006, while fellow icon Loretta Lynn left a $65 million (£48.1m) fortune when she died in 2022.
NASCAR great Cale Yarborough, valued at $50 million (£37m) when he passed away in 2023, made two appearances as himself.
Shannon Tweed, now worth $50 million (£37m), guest-starred as Betty Jo Page in the 1984 episode Welcome, Waylon Jennings.
Star Trek favourite Jonathan Frakes, who played Jamie Lee Hogg in 1981, rounds out the group at $25 million (£18.5m).
Several familiar faces from the show lack credible published net worth estimates. These include Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer (pictured), who temporarily replaced Bo and Luke as cousins Coy and Vance Duke, along with Peggy Rea, who played Boss Hogg's wife Lulu.
Also without reliable figures are Don Pedro Colley, Nedra Volz, Parley Baer and Lindsay Bloom, who all made recurring or guest appearances during the show's run.
The same applies to Ernie Lively, the late father of A-list actress Blake Lively. He appeared in several episodes as Longstreet B Davenport.
John Schneider shot to stardom as Bo Duke, one of the show's two daredevil cousins. At the height of The Dukes of Hazzard's success, Schneider and co-star Tom Wopat walked out amid a bitter dispute over salaries and merchandising royalties. Producers temporarily replaced them with Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer as Coy and Vance Duke, but falling ratings helped bring the original pair back before season five ended.
Schneider later starred as Jonathan Kent in Smallville and pursued a country music career. After well-publicised financial and legal troubles, Celebrity Net Worth estimates his fortune at just $200,000 (£148k).
One of the few honest members of Hazzard County's law enforcement was Enos Strate, portrayed by Sonny Shroyer. The character proved popular enough to get his own namesake spin-off, which followed him to LA for one season before Shroyer returned to The Dukes of Hazzard.
Now retired, the actor's wider film career included The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit, Forrest Gump and Ray.
As nice but dim Cletus Hogg, Rick Hurst became a regular presence in Hazzard County after the character was appointed deputy when Enos left for LA. Hurst appeared regularly between 1980 and 1982 and later returned for the 1997 and 2000 reunion movies.
Later credits included The Karate Kid Part II, Steel Magnolias, Murder, She Wrote and The Wonder Years. Hurst has also remained a regular at Dukes of Hazzard fan events.
Best known as Hazzard County mechanic Cooter Davenport, Ben Jones appeared throughout the show's seven-season run and later reprised the role in two reunion movies. Away from acting, he forged an unusual second career in politics, serving two terms in the US House of Representatives as a Georgia Democrat.
Jones later turned his Dukes fame into a business with Cooter's Place museums and fan events. He died from a heart attack in August aged 84, with Celebrity Net Worth estimating his fortune at $1 million (£743k).
Jeff Altman played recurring villain Hughie Hogg, Boss Hogg's equally crooked nephew and occasional rival, across several seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard. A con artist and master of disguise, Hughie repeatedly returned to Hazzard County with new schemes and even briefly became acting sheriff.
Away from the show, Altman built a long career as a stand-up comedian and actor, appearing more than 40 times on the Late Show with David Letterman. His other standout gigs have included Baywatch, Nurses and The Real Ghostbusters.
The white-suited, cigar-chomping Boss Hogg became one of The Dukes of Hazzard's most recognisable characters, with Sorrell Booke playing the corrupt county commissioner throughout the show's run.
Far removed from his alter ego, Booke was a Yale-trained actor who spoke seven languages and had served as a US Army counterintelligence officer. His extensive career included Fail Safe, M*A*S*H and Columbo, while he also played Boss Hogg's kind-hearted twin brother in one episode. Booke died from colorectal cancer in 1994 aged 64, leaving an estimated $1.5 million (£1.1m), equivalent to $3.3 million (£2.4m) today.
Hazzard County's blundering Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane was brought to life by James Best, who appeared throughout the show's run. Best had already built a substantial screen career before arriving in Hazzard County, with credits including The Caine Mutiny, Forbidden Planet, The Andy Griffith Show and The Virginian.
The actor continued working long after the series ended, later appearing on TV hit In the Heat of the Night. Best died in 2015 aged 88, with an estimated net worth of $2 million (£1.5m).
Luke Duke was the more level-headed of the show's two central cousins, with Tom Wopat starring opposite John Schneider from 1979. Like Schneider, Wopat was briefly absent during season five amid the pair's contract dispute.
After The Dukes of Hazzard, the star forged a substantial stage career, earning two Tony Award nominations, and appeared in TV shows including Cybill and Longmire, not to mention the movie Django Unchained. Wopat has also released a string of country albums.
The show's unseen narrator, known as the Balladeer, was country music legend Waylon Jennings, who also wrote and sang its Good Ol' Boys theme song. Long before The Dukes of Hazzard, Jennings had helped define the outlaw country movement and later joined Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson in The Highwaymen supergroup.
The country luminary's career produced numerous chart hits and two Grammy Awards, culminating in his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Jennings died in 2002 aged 64, leaving an estimated fortune of $2 million (£1.5m), which translates to roughly $3.7 million (£2.7m) today.
Catherine Bach became one of The Dukes of Hazzard's biggest stars as Daisy Duke, the tough, resourceful cousin of Bo and Luke who regularly helped the family outwit Boss Hogg and Rosco. Her image became a major part of the show's pop-cultural impact, with 'Daisy Dukes' entering everyday language as a term for very short cut-off denim shorts.
After the series ended, Bach continued acting in projects including African Skies and The Young and the Restless. She has also launched jewellery and legwear lines.
Pictured left, Denver Pyle played Uncle Jesse Duke, the family patriarch and moral centre who regularly tried to keep Bo, Luke and Daisy out of trouble. By then, Pyle was already a seasoned character actor, with credits including The Andy Griffith Show, The Doris Day Show, The Alamo and Bonnie and Clyde.
Outside of acting, he made a shrewd fortune by buying ageing oil wells when crude prices were low, investments that ultimately earned him more than his screen career.
Pyle died in 1997 aged 77, with an estimated net worth of $5 million (£3.7m), equivalent to more than double that figure today.
