thats different tho. Remember she owns her own company harpo so shes making most money because of that.

Wow, Judge Judy makes 45 mill a year?!

bbbaalllinn

even the 15,000$ per ep is good though its the lowest

WTF Charlie Sheen gets $1.25 mil per EPISODE?? Jesus. News anchors also get paid quite a ridiculous amount.

And it's a disgrace that Bryan Cranston and Michael C. Hall aren't on the list, while Snooki is. Michael C. Hall might not be on the list because of his cancer?

What the fuck, secret life and wizards of wave make so much? 30K per?

Fucking LG's

I understand for two and a half men tho.... Charlie

haha nice catch. Well, Piven's a more established actor than Adrian Grenier.

ARI GOLD. Ironic how on the show Ari has quite the condescending tone towards TV

i find it funny how people make this much money and there are people starving and dirt poor around the world

Jon Hamm (Mad Men) $100,000

underpaid

Judge Judy probably has court fees on top of the appearance fee LOL.
