Ashton Kutcher – $755,000
There is something funny about the way Ashton Kutcher made $100,000 more per episode than Jon Cryer, who was there since the beginning. Anyway, the younger man joined the cast of Two and a Half Men to replace the main star of the show. He was cast in the role of a tech entrepreneur called Walden Schmidt for four years until the show wrapped up. Kutcher was paid $755,000 per episode, which is still considerably less than the $1 million that Charlie Sheen used to bring home.

Hugh Laurie – $700,000
Are you aware that Hugh Laurie is British? If not, you are probably impressed because he did an amazing job of portraying an American accent during the time that he played Dr. Gregory House. He was generally thought to be the standout star of the hit medical drama House, M.D. In those days, he brought home $700,000 per episode. He appeared in 177 episodes and appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records after being named the “most-watched leading on television.” Aside from that, you might have also seen him in the HBO comedy Veep.
