As already discussed, playing the role of Penny in The Big Bang Theory has resulted in Kaley Cuoco becoming one of the most popular television actresses in the world. Naturally, this had led to her becoming one of the highest paid television actresses in the world too. To emphasise the rise of her stardom, prior to season four of the show, Cuoco was earning $60,000 per episode. Then, her fee rose to a whopping $200,000 per episode. However, as of season eight of the show, she now earns an astronomical $1 million per episode. When you think that the show is set to continue until its tenth season - and that she'll be earning $24 million a year - it's going to make her an unbelievably rich woman.
