Show & Seasons: The Big Bang Theory – 12
Last Episode Airdate: May 16, 2019
Passive Earning: $10 Million per year

The Big Bang Theory has been running for a long time, and during that period, Johnny Galecki has been a stalwart member of the cast. He played the role of Leonard, and along with all the other stars, thanks to this series, they have all become millionaires. Big Bang can be considered an empire, and with the millions it has earned its stars, it also banked in billions from its airings. The first episode was shown back in 2007 and ended in May 2019.
We can safely say Galecki earns a decent check each year from the reruns amounting to an average of $10 million. For those who were sad that the series ended, they can find joy in the fact that a spin-off, Young Sheldon, has been renewed for an additional season.
