This is How Much Actors Really Earn For Reruns

Can you believe it all started as a little segment on The Tracey Ullman Show? Now, over 30 years later, The Simpsons is still going strong, proving itself to be a timeless classic that’s as relevant and beloved as ever. And with recent deals with FX and Disney, the main cast members are cashing in big time on reruns alone, raking in a cool $10 million altogether.

But hold up, not everyone’s feeling the love from their cartoon royalties. Just ask rapper and actor 50 Cent, who was less than thrilled with his FOX cartoon paycheck—just $16.68 for a single episode. It looks like when it comes to Simpsons royalties, it’s all about the main cast members scoring big, while the rest might be left with just pocket change.
