I've already talked about the huge success of the 90's sitcom, Friends, but I didn't mention the success they had continuing into the 2000's. Beginning from season 5, the Friends stars began receiving royalties for reruns. That means that the cast was receiving money every time a different network like NBC or WGN played old episodes of the series. For those last 5 seasons, they weren't just making the $100,000 to $1 million per episode, but they were also making money from reruns on top of that. The amount of money they receive in royalties is disclosed, but we can assume that by the high price of their salaries, the stars were more than well off with these additions. Friends was such a success that the show is still playing on stations like TBS and Nickelodeon.
WILL THE FRIENDS EVER STOP GETTING MONEY?
