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
