#19: Roseanne Barr

TV Show: Roseanne

Amount: $1 million per year

Roseanne Barr, the mastermind behind the hit sitcom Roseanne, stirred up quite a storm with her controversial remarks on various touchy topics. But before she fell from grace, her show was a cash cow for both her and ABC.

During peak years, Barr raked over a cool million in royalties due to reruns on various networks. However, due to her controversial remarks and sharp tongue, most networks pulled the plug on reruns of her show, although you can still catch it on some streaming platforms. This caused her royalty income to take a nosedive.
