32. Hat Tax (The ship I served on)
This was originally posted as a single image, with the salaries in random order. A cry went out among imgurians, "WHY DID YOU NUMBER THEM IF THERE'S NO ORDER?" So, I did what I am destined to do.
I cut the single image into 31 pieces. I removed the numbers. And, for the listed annual salaries, I used the Interwebs to find out how many episodes/shows per year are produced and did the math. In the case of Fallon, Rippa and Seacrest, and Ellen, the episode counts *do* include days off with substitute hosts. So, when Joe Schmoe sits in for [x], I still counted it toward the total. Then I put them in order from lowest pay to highest. Well, the hat doesn't get paid anything.
YES, IT'S A REPOST! That's kind of the point! Get over it. People asked for it, I delivered it. If you don't like it, move on. Don't be a whiner.
Thank you.
*derp*
FP EDIT: Thanks! Um, send… what? Whooo… Send ?? AH! I got it. Send your favorite architectural features. I am partial to interesting materials and odd roof lines. Or, you know, donate to a food pantry. Who knows, it may be the one I use.

Thanks for your service, shipmate! I was Strike Fighter Squadron 102 (VFA-102) aboard CV-63 (The Kitty Hawk aka The Shitty Kitty).

Ah, I knew her. I did boot and Airman Apprenticeship in San Diego.

Roseanne made 250,000 an episode...right 25 years ago...that would be a much larger figure today...That show was genius until the final year
FoxGodRecords
And we'll find out soon. ABC is bringing it back in the fall for a (HOPEFULLY) limited run.

One episode for me would be like winning the lottery.

USNS SUPPLY, AOE-6! Fast combat support FTW!

Man, at least yours is still floating. I was a CTI3 (But don't tell anybody, we weren't there, it's a secret!) back in '86.
YouSpilledMyWaterPrepareToDry
For some reason I thought the list started with highest paid first, and was just more & more amazed at how much tv actors are paid!
MajorHeadass
Fum Fact: Judge Judy's net worth is around $400 million dollars.
APissedOffMuslim
Bazinga! Hehe.. pay me a million dollars
metsakutsu
I was literally moved to tears the first time I saw the talent poured into that show. Truly a landmark in human history. Bazinga, my friend.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
So Jimmy Fallon makes about $10 for every joke he ruins. Seems a bit much.
SendMeNoots
I can't even comprehend making half a mil a year let alone multiple millions. I'd be willing to try though.
eddieeeeeee69
I wonder what its like to have money.
FoxGodRecords
You, me, and everyone else on imgur. Honestly, if we had money, would we be doing this? Honestly? Honestly?
Leithreas
Yay capitalism and advertisements.
BleachItsWhatsForDinner
I have but one regret in life. That I was not born as Pat Sajak and make the easiest bank in the biz.
forestfinagle
I don't get it, he has the personality of a fridge
tooomanysteves
This is just fucking disgusting, considering what teachers, nurses, police, etc. have to live on.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
No one that isn't saving and helping lives, deserves that much money. Just sayin
LetsTrythisImgurThingout
If a show is popular enough to sell 10 million worth of ad space, no one deserves a chunk of that money
JHawke
No one deserves that much money period. I will agree those saving lives should make more than average though not less.
thePoozer
And people say athletes are over paid
LetsTrythisImgurThingout
They do. And yet major stars are under paid. TV is even easier, you can tie a value to a performer based on screen time, ratings/ad sales
KraftPunkIsLookingForACheeseWife
LollipopLich
Is this before or after taxes? Because tax on $10M is about $4M, if you don't hide it all.
FoxGodRecords
I assume it's the contract amount, so it would be before taxes.
CamdenSpeakman
That's a really nice name for a ship
PapaBearclaw
People who entertain the masses, throw them all the money! Oh. This group, willing to die for them, shitty healthcare and bad pay for life!
saucemothfuckinsauce
My thoughts exactly. That is not just entertainment money, that is "keep the lower class occupied" money right there.
dietderpsy
Money makes money, TV shows are one of America's biggest exports.
TheTimeless
Well, I mean, I get that, but one doesn't really negate the other
HeyItsJP
Thanks for your service, shipmate
ThePalomo
This is pretty out of date. Top 5 highest paid actors in game of thrones are making 1.1 mil per episode now,
FoxGodRecords
1.6 million, actually.
SwordsToTheSkyWeRideAtDawn
Some of these salaries are not adjusted for 2017. Which means the order will change a lot
FoxGodRecords
Yeah. TBBT, GoT both went up overall. I didn't look up the rest, really. My guess is a lot of the current ones went up after contracts.
birencall
Outlander is a good show. And has boobs.
annoyallthetrolls
And torture, followed by anal rape.

Well GOT can enjoy it while it lasts, their last episode could've happened at any time. I'm sure Sean Bean thought he landed a good run.
GeneralBullshit
The only thing Sean Bean can hope for is cutsceenes about people remembering things about him after he dies, so he still has a role to play
runo
Wait, what? Do you actually think he went, "Nah I don't need to read the contract/script. I'm famous, they won't axe me a few episodes in"?
JHawke
If that happened to anyone else that might be a possibility. But if fucking Sean Bean didn't consider dying he deserved it :p
LJCobb
Any actor worth their sort would research a role before taking it. He knew Neds days were numbered from the get go.
Leithreas
I'm certain he agreed to it knowing he'd be killed and wouldn't be tied into a TV show for too long.
Skizzlesnap
Fun fact. Judge Judy is actually making $900K a day while working. She only works 52 days a year and is the highest paid daytime TV star.
KZordTheBestZord
Good for her.
professionalConfirmologist
She has a house in Ft Myers. Pretty nice in person.
Skizzlesnap
She's also worth $290 million.
monkeymuffins
You should see the case where the girl sues her obese friend for sitting on her toilet and breaking it.
dhorso
She single?
mrdude88
Remeber when the cast of 'Friends' made $1,000,000 per episode?
Saxit
Remember when Charlie Sheen was paid $1.8 million per episode for Two and a Half Men?

The North remembers.

iamthisguy247
And Seinfeld was offered $5 million per episode to do one more season but said no.
boethius
Given his net worth is close to $1B because of syndication I don't worry much about Jerry Seinfeld's financial security.
storebrandproductmascot
Why isn't that on the list, but other old-ass shows like Roseanne and Will & Grace are? This is a weird list.
MissKalanek
Both Will & Grace and Roseanne are getting a revival. I think the salaries are for the upcoming new episode.
lupusfulgaris
That was more than 10 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, that's like a bajillion dollars.
Meqad
The 90's was the time to be a tv star. Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt also made $1mill per episode of Mad About You. The cast of Seinfeld made..
VodkaReindeer
And they only released the whole series on DVD last year...
Meqad
1mill per episode. Tim Allen made 1.2 per episode of Home Improvement. Kelsey Grammer made 1.6mill for Frasier, Ray Romano made 1.7 for...
Meqad
Everybody loves Raymond.
UnremarkablyInteresting
Ted Danson was something like $500k per episode in 1990.
Skizzlesnap
That's what Big Bang is pulling now.
snakeoilsalesman
The lowest common denominator.
Heisenbeer
If I remember right they were going to be. But agreed to a pay cut so that they would all be on the same.
LetsTrythisImgurThingout
They got the mill, then took a paycut later to help give Mayim and someone else a raise
elocnoremac
*Cue CBS Laughtrack*
FoxGodRecords
And now it's just Katy Perry. *sigh*
GavinScreaming
Nah those Game of Thrones actors make like 1.5-2 mil per episode now
margaretolson
But the seasons are shorter. Plus inflation
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Yeah, but, what's the inflation on Friends?
GandalfsLawyer
About 55lbs
FoxGodRecords
FoxGodRecords
Yeah, I saw that after I wrote this. $1.6 million per episode each on GoT.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
You forgot Tim Allen for Home Improvement.
FoxGodRecords
I didn't forget him. I didn't compile the list. I just put them in order.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Well, Tim should be in 2nd then because even way back when, he was getting a mil an episode.
FoxGodRecords
So were the cast of Friends. Again, it's not *my* list. If you want to get nuts, let's talk Oprah, m'kay?
ferb444
Plus these are current shows. On right now. Not past stuff. Yes they are remaking Rosanne. God help us.
FoxGodRecords
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo....................ooooOOOOHHHH SHIT! WHY???
Ravenmadirish
There's a lot of overpaid mother fuckers here! Am I right?
lufttjuven
Yup.
samsonguy920
Mark Harmon's earned his, to be sure, though I am surprised he's not ready to retire by now. But there are a few in that list way overpaid.
samsonguy920
Ryan Seacrest and Big Bang Theory, for certain.
jmrex
You have no idea how the world works, do you?
InsistHeSeesTheGhost
The more people a product reaches the more cash that is generated simple.
romicra88
There's a problem when entertainers are valued so much higher than people who sacrifice their own well being for others.
YatekMorah
In ol' good Roman Empire entertainers were just tad more respected than whores.
jmrex
Do you watch TV?
InsistHeSeesTheGhost
The more wide spread a product the more money it produces. Everybody knows celebratiea they are reaching alot of ppl alot of money thats how
InsistHeSeesTheGhost
Shit works the more ppl who r3ceive the service the more monies that is produced
