10/ 20The Cast Of Friends Famously Negotiated For A Payout Of $1 Million Per Person
When Friends made its debut back in 1994, the cast earned just over $20,000 per episode. Ten years later, when the series ended, the cast managed to receive a 5000% raise! In 2002 the so-called ‘super six’ actors of the show negotiated all together and demanded to be paid the same – or threatening to walk away ‘en masse’. Friends was ‘Must See TV’ for years with an average of 24.7 million viewers a week in its heyday – after the negotiations each actor earned $1 Million every single episode of the show.
