Patrick Stewart – $750,000
For many people, their first encounter with Patrick Stewart was seeing him play Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, he is probably best known for bringing Professor X to life in the X-Men movies. We are glad that he is more than happy to play these roles once more. It is hard for us to imagine anyone capable of taking his place, so we are glad to hear that he is going to be in Star Trek: Picard. The actor is compensated $750,000 per episode.
Jennifer Aniston – $2 Million
We already talked a bit about Jennifer Aniston because she was one of the stars of Friends. In the hit show, she earned $1 million per episode in the later seasons. This is already impressive enough on its own but wait until you hear how much she made for each episode of The Morning Show. The show pays her $2 million per episode to star in the newsroom drama with Reese Witherspoon. You will also see Steve Carrell on the show, although he only has a supporting role.
