7. Ed O’Neill – $200,000 per episode of Modern Family
Ed O’Neill plays Jay Pritchett in Modern Family. He is a middle-aged patriarch of the Pritchett Family. He is married to a beautiful Colombian woman who is 20 years younger than him, Gloria Delgado (portrayed by Sofia Vergara).
Acting alongside the sexy Latina plus $200,000 paycheck per episode, what more he could have asked for? Perhaps a little bit more money to pile up to his $45 million of net worth?
The show itself has been going on for eight years since 2009. There have been 170 episodes so far. Ed was in 166 of them.
Modern Family is a comedy TV series about three different families. Ed’s character heads a large unconventional family. His daughter and her husband is the second featured family with three young kids. The other one is a gay-couple family with one adopted daughter.
