Jim Parsons – $250,000 per episode

The Big Bang Theory has reached its finale, but the legacy of Jim Parsons as the iconic Dr. Sheldon Cooper has not. Many people found laughter in the sitcom, with some who consider themselves geeks able to relate to the absurdity of the characters. Apart from TBBT, Parsons has also tried out hosting a SiriusXM talk show, Jim Parsons is too Stupid for Politics, which ran for six weeks. He also appeared on Broadway and voiced Oh in the comedy film Home.

How much did he earn though from TBBT? He started out being paid $60,000 per episode, totaling to $1 million, but in the succeeding seasons, from 2 to 4, his salary was increased to $250,000 per episode. That translated to $17.5 million altogether. We just hope that Parsons consult a financial advisor on how to best handle all that money.
