Some TV stars pull in tens of millions every year in residual payments while others don’t see a dime. Check out who’s rolling in dough from reruns and who got stiffed!

Jerry Seinfeld, 71, and Larry David, 78, the cocreators of the comedy classic Seinfeld, reportedly laugh all the way to the bank every year to the tune of $60 million, thanks to syndication of the hit show.

According to BuzzFeed, comedian Ray Romano, 67, is said to rake in as much as $18 million annually in residuals from his series, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Friends castmates Jennifer Aniston, 56, Lisa Kudrow, 62, Courteney Cox, 61, David Schwimmer, 58, Matt LeBlanc, 58, and the estate of Matthew Perry, who died in 2023, each take home a whopping $20 million a year in residuals from the “Must-See TV” sitcom, per BuzzFeed.

Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson, 58, reportedly makes just $4,000 a year from the show’s reruns,  her son Brandon Lee once told Extra.

Eve Plumb, who played Jan Brady on the 1970s hit The Brady Bunch, says she and her costars haven’t made a red cent in residuals from the blended family sitcom in “many, many years!” The “biggest misconception is that we’re all rich from it,” the 67-year-old told OK! Magazine in 2011, “but we are not.”
