9. The Voice Actors Make $300,000 (An Episode)

You may not be able to recognise them (aside from Hank Azaria, not above, who€™s photogenic enough to make it in Hollywood), but The Simpsons voice actors aren't too fussed. Paid an eye watering $30,000 per episode in the show€™s golden age, it slowly crept up to $400,000 thanks to the shows ever growing popularity and some well timed strikes.

Even though it was recently dropped to a measly $300k, that€™s still an astonishing amount; most actors appear in every one of a twenty-two episode season, meaning they can rake in $6,600,000 a year from doing the voices alone. No matter how bored fans get with the show, you can bet the cast are happy it€™s still going.
