The Big Bang Theory does a bang-up job of making its stars rich.
The CBS comedy claims TV’s four best-paid actors, according to the annual list released Thursday by Forbes.
Jim Parsons led with a $25.5 million (Dh93.6 million) take between June 2015 and this June, Forbes said, followed by cast-mates Johnny Galecki ($24 million), Simon Helberg ($22.5 million) and Kunal Nayyar ($22 million).
In fifth place: Mark Harmon, star of CBS’ drama NCIS, was paid $20 million (as with all these actors, before management fees and taxes).
Forbes’ list of TV actresses, released last week, reaffirms the generous salaries for Big Bang stars: Leading lady, Kaley Cuoco placed second on that list, with $24.5 million.
In that top spot: ABC’s Modern Family bombshell Sofia Vergara, with $43 million.
