Matthew Perry – Friends
Speaking of Friends alums, Matthew Perry, who played the hilarious Chandler Bing, also earns up to $20 million every year from residuals of the show. Reruns of Friends run on Nickelodeon. The show was on for an entire decade and 10 seasons, making it one of the most successful shows of all time.
Carol Burnett – The Carol Burnett Show
Carol Burnett was a pioneer in comedy and normalizing women in comedy. Her show, The Carol Burnett Show, was truly groundbreaking when it featured her as the main character. However, due to music copyrights, she doesn’t earn much from DVD sales of the show. She earns an estimated one penny per sale, which is pretty unfortunate.
