Last Episode Airdate: May 16, 2005
Passive Earning: Average of $1 million per year
Ray Romano is a popular figure, especially among the younger generation, for his works in the Ice Age franchise. However, we can agree that his major break came when he featured in one of CBS’ hit TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond. The show ended in 2005 after going nine seasons, even though a lot of fans were left sad as they wished there was a continuation of the show. The Barone family sure had a way with the viewers.
Romano, today, is one of the richest Emmy Award-winning actors in history due to his “heavy” residual check received from the show – up to $18 million. With this yearly royalty check, it is no surprise he has appeared on the Forbes list of richest actors

Alan Alda
Show & Seasons: M*A*S*H – 11
Last Episode Airdate: February 28, 1983
Passive Earning: Average of $1 million per year
M*A*S*H was a film that many people applauded as it took a serious matter and added lots of humor to it but still ensured viewers were served with their dose of emotional occurrences. It didn’t take long for the film to hit it big as Alan played the role of Hawkeye. During the first episodes, the earnings stood at around $10,000, but as the show progressed to the end of the series, that earnings went up to around $235,000.
Even though he doesn’t earn as much as other actors who starred in sitcoms, he rakes in an average of $1 million each year, depending on how and where the series is rerun. But, with a successful career, Alda can still be classified as one of the richest actors of all time.
