The Big Bang Theory is already the most expensive show to buy an ad in, and now reports say that the three main stars, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco will be making $90 million each by 2017.
Johnny, Kaley and Jim made $325,000 an episode last season, but they asked for Friends money for season 8 and they got it.
Deadline says that Johnny, Kaley and Jim will sign on for three more seasons of The Big Bang Theory and in return they’ll get $1 million per episode. Three seasons = 72 episodes = $72 million EACH.
By 2017, they'll make at least $90 million and if the show continues to make more from syndication it will turn into $100 million.
