9. James Spader – $125,000 per episode of The Blacklist
One of the casts of Avengers: The Age of Ultron is up next. He is the voice of Ultron himself, James Spader. His presence in The Blacklist on TV has been so influential to the show.
The Blacklist started in 2013. And the fourth season will start this September. James plays Raymond Reddington, a mysterious criminal who turned himself in to the FBI and provided them information on other elusive criminals. Generous? I don’t think so. He definitely has something up his sleeve.
For every episode of his mysterious act, James is being paid $125,000. Just like most TV shows, as time goes by and rating goes up, that number will only get bigger.
James himself has bagged $10 million of net worth from his long career in entertainment business.
