3. Kevin Spacey – $500,000 per episode of House of Cards
Compared to the other shows on this list, House of Cards is relatively new. It started in 2013. There have only been 53 episodes so far. That could only mean one thing: Kevin Spacey’s current salary is only the beginning.
Yep, his $500,000 per episode paycheck is just a start. As long as the show keeps going along with a good rating, Kevin can ask for bigger paycheck as he plays the main character of the show. That means more money adding up to his $80 million of net worth.
Francis Underwood is a congressman who works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him. Drama all the way!
Kevin Spacey is a big name in the movie industry. He was in The Usual Suspects, where he won the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, and American Beauty, for Best Actor. See that? Even an Oscars-winning actor is on our TV screen today!
