Woman: I wish I got paid $250,000 and episode, like that "Kate plus eight" woman. My kids have episodes all day. I'd be multimillionaire before lunch. Kids: Mom! Mom! Mom!
For the last 2 years the “Friends” main cast was paid $1,000,000 per episode. About $45,000,000 each all together. It was a good thing that a few of them took care of their finances because subsequent projects did not do so well. IIRC, the main cast of The Big Bang Theory had similar contracts also for the last 2 years of that show as well. But some have been better able to find other work after. That’’s what you get for a top rated tv show, a lot of money and then nobody wants to hire you after.
