TV Show: Cheers
Amount: $5 million per year
Ted Danson made his mark as Sam Malone, the charming bartender at the heart of the ’80s sitcom Cheers. Sam’s journey from baseball pitcher to a bar owner in Boston became the stuff of a TV legend, with his charisma, wit, and penchant for a good drink.

Even though Danson earned a hefty $450,000 per episode in the later seasons of Cheers, he eventually hung up his bartender’s apron. His decision to bid farewell to Sam didn’t put a dent in his bank account! Thanks to reruns and syndication, Danson still pocketed a cool $5 million yearly from the beloved TV show.
