As of 2020, Matthew Perry has an estimated net worth of $120 million dollars. Most of his wealth comes from the TV series ”Friends”, which is one of the most watches TV series of all time. The finale of the series is the highest-rated series of the 21st century. The finale attracted an impressive 52.5 million viewers.
The show had a total of 10 seasons and ran for 10 years (from 1994 until 2004). The salaries that the actors got from playing in Friends are incredibly lucrative.
For example, the stars were paid $75,000 per episode in season three, $85,000 in season four, $100,000 in season five, $125,000 in season six, $750,000 in seasons seven and eight, and $1 million in seasons nine and ten.
That’s $1 million dollars per episode!!!! But how did they pull that off? The simple answer is that all six cast members negotiated together for a better deal. They each wanted to be paid the same or they would all leave the hit show.
