#35: George Clooney

TV Show: ER

Amount: $13 million per year

ER was the original Grey’s Anatomy and George Clooney? Well, he was the original McDreamy who had hearts fluttering all around the globe. Dr. Doug Ross may have only graced our screens for five seasons, but they left a lasting impression!

Even after Clooney hung up his stethoscope, the residuals kept rolling in, to the tune of a cool $13 million every year. It’s not too shabby for a show he starred in a decade ago! ER wasn’t just a hit series; it was the role that catapulted Clooney to superstardom, opening doors to fame, fortune, and a trophy case full of awards.
