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.

Many people classified Baywatch as a cultural phenomenon instead of a TV show, and we may have to agree. Pamela Anderson became a powerhouse in the female existence right after Marilyn Monroe. The Show set her career on a high, and amid all the drama, the “always shirtless” figure was played by David Hasselhoff.
Baywatch may not have as many reruns as many other TV shows, but that does not stop Hasselhoff from earning a nice passive payout each year of an average of $4 million. Just imagine the role of someone patrolling a beach earning that nice figure yearly. In 2017, Hasselhoff also made an appearance in one of the franchise’s movies.
