#16: The Law & Order Cast
Amount: $200,000 per year
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has outlasted its predecessor by a long shot, clocking in over 20 seasons – way more than the original show! But guess what? The original Law & Order still has a loyal fan base who prefer its reruns over SVU.
Thanks to its enduring popularity, stars like Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston are still cashing in those residual checks. While the exact figures are hush-hush, cast members have spilled the beans that they get about 6% of their original salaries from the reruns. So, if a star earned, let’s say, $150,000 per episode over 20 seasons, that could mean a sweet $200,000 each year in royalties!
