Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki all take home an eye-watering million dollars per episode. It is a far cry from their pay in the first three series of the show when they had to
struggle by on just $60,000 per programme. The trio are way ahead of the next biggest earners Lauren Graham and Alexis Biedel who are paid $750,000 per episode for Gilmore Girls, the comedy
drama about a single mother (Graham) and daughter (Biedel), which returns later this year on Netflix after a hiatus. Mark Harmon, the star of the long-running NCIS, is paid $500,000, the
same fee that Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau get for Game of Thrones.
