Will Smith – $50,000
You must already be aware that Will Smith made a name for himself as a rapper before he got cast in a show called The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He is now one of the most successful commercial actors in history! However, you probably had no idea that he was only paid $50,000 per episode during the first three seasons of the show as the IRS took 70% of his earnings. Don’t worry, the actor has been blessed with other big roles since then. Maybe you even saw him in Suicide Squad and Independence Day!

Paul Reiser – $1 Million
Mind you, Helen Hunt was not the only person from the Mad About You cast to have made $1 million per episode. Of course, the show would not have been that successful if it were not for the amazing chemistry that she had with her co-star Paul Reiser. The actor also raked in $1 million per episode by playing her on-screen husband. He did not slow down even when the series was over. Among other things, he also got to star in an Oscar-nominated film called Whiplash.
