4. David Boreanaz – $250,000 per episode of Bones
If you were born in late 1980s like me, you may recognize David Boreanaz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Today, he is one of the two leading characters of Bones.
While other cop shows respond on a fresh murder case, the team in Bones solves murder cases from a dead body so decomposed beyond FBI forensic standard that it could not be recognized anymore.
David plays FBI Agent Seeley Booth who partners up (both professionally and personally) with the main character, Dr. Temperance Brennan, a.k.a Bones. For each episode, David is paid $250,000 which piles up his $22 million of net worth.
The show started in 2005 and is waiting on its 12th season in 2017. For a total of 245 episodes aired, that’s a lot of bones to investigate!
