1. Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki – $1 million per episode of The Big Bang Theory
And the highest paid TV series actors are from The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki. Both of them are now paid $1 million per episode. For a situational comedy show with less than 30 minutes runtime per episode, that is a huge paycheck.
You cannot blame the producers for paying them such huge amount of money because the show has been a successful hit. Its first season started in 2007 with a fresh premise.
It is about a group of scientists with their nerdy lifestyle meeting a blond-stereotype girl who was clueless about the world of science. The collision of the two different worlds goes along with the analogy of the big bang theory itself.
Jim Parsons, with $50 million of net worth, plays the main character, Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Johnny Galecki, with $40 million of net worth, plays his roommate, Dr. Leonard Hoftstadter.
