In their original contracts for the first season, cast members were paid $22,500 per episode.[21] The cast members received different salaries in the second season, beginning from the $20,000 range to $40,000 per episode.[21][22] Before their salary negotiations for the third season, the cast decided to enter collective negotiations, despite Warner Bros.' preference for individual deals.[23] The actors were given the salary of the least-paid cast member, meaning Aniston and Schwimmer had their salaries reduced. The stars were paid $75,000 per episode in season three, $85,000 in season four, $100,000 in season five, $125,000 in season six, $750,000 in seasons seven and eight, and $1 million in seasons nine and ten.[24][25] The cast also received syndication royalties beginning with the fifth season.[22] At the time, that financial benefit of a piece of the show's lucrative back end profits had only been given out to stars who had ownership rights in a show, like Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Cosby.[26]
Phil Pritchard, the guy in white gloves who handles the Cup and probably has the best job in the world (seriously!), was interviewed on NHL Home Ice (SiriusXM) yesterday and discussed some upcoming events. From memory...
