The Pine-Sol Woman: $250 000
Pine-Sol is one of the most popular cleaning products in America, and if you grew up in the suburbs you most certainly know the star behind the infamous commercials the brand put out in the early days of television. Diane Amos may have been made famous for her appearances in these commercials, but also landed some roles in popular films like Patch Adams, Sweet November and Twisted. The 90’s also saw her delve into television, eventually landing up in the comedy scene as well. The early 2000’s would mean another payday from Pine-Sol, when she was appointed as their official spokesperson. Her earnings from this and other appearances are an impressive $250 000 a year.
