Tiffani Thiessen recently shared that her residuals from 'Saved by the Bell' have become negative, a sentiment echoed by Mark Paul Gosselaar, who previously noted the poor deals made by the show's stars. In contrast, Lisa Kudrow highlighted the substantial residuals earned by the cast of 'Friends,' which can reach $20 million annually for each actor.
The disparity in earnings among celebrities is stark, with some like George Clooney taking minimal upfront payments for artistic projects, while others, such as Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, command tens of millions for their roles. This range illustrates the complexities of compensation in the entertainment industry, influenced by factors like gender and project type.
