7. Julia Louis-Dreyfus
In total, the crew of Seinfeld made $3.1 billion, primarily because it was a well-loved show. However, the Seinfeld cast was denied royalties, so Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus demanded to get $1 million per episode for the final season and got their wish.
8. Ray Romano
Everybody Loves Raymond was a popular show, lasting for a full six years. However, Ray wanted to renew his contract for $1.8 million per episode, which was astronomical at the time. He did get his wish, but the rest of the cast walked out in protest!
