David Hasselhoff
It is not enough to call Baywatch a show. After all, the more accurate description is a cultural phenomenon. There was a time when it had a weekly viewership of 1.1 billion viewers. This also elevated Pamela Anderson to the status of a sex symbol in the vein of Marilyn Monroe. However, it would be a disservice to ignore David Hasselhoff simply! On the show, he often had to peel his shirt to bring Mitch to life. While the show does not have as many reruns as others, the actor still makes a pretty penny. The Hoff could bring home about $4 million per year for his work in the past. The show came to an end in May 2001, but that was not the last time he appeared in the franchise. He had a cameo in the 2017 flick that was based on the show. Check it out!

Betty White
In many ways, The Golden Girls had been ahead of its time. Even though it was the early ‘9s, Betty White, Estelle Getty, Beatrice Arthur, and Rue McClanahan talked about womanhood as openly as anyone has in front of the camera. The script was witty enough on its own, but the show also benefitted from these amazing actresses’ talents. Now nearing a hundred years old, Betty White is practically an institution. The career of the comedienne has since slowed down, but she has yet to stop. Aside from that, she continues to make money from the show! Her bank account sees $3 million a year, thanks to it. Fun fact: the house in the opening theme of the show is found in Brentwood, California, even though the show took place in Florida. In 2020, the owner put it on the market for $3 million.
