Reese Witherspoon – $2 Million
Reese Witherspoon made $1 million for each episode of Big Little Lies. However, this pales in comparison to the fortune that she earned when she worked on The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carrell. The newsroom drama from Apple TV+ wowed a lot of people for the high-quality entertainment that it provided. On top of this, Witherspoon and Aniston got Golden Globe nominations in 2020 for their amazing performances. The show truly boasted a powerhouse of a cast.
Simon Cowell – ~$940,000
Simon Cowell first earned his reputation as a harsh judge on a reality show called Pop Idol. It aired in the United Kingdom first, but he has actually been in the music industry for quite some time already. Year after year, he goes on to reprise his role as a judge who does not mince his word. He has appeared on both American Idol and X-Factor. For the latter, he was paid $75 million for the 2012-2013 season, which had 80 episodes. We will let you do the math this time!
