During the 90s, we can say Seinfeld had the hearts of many viewers around the world, and even today, it is still going strong. How? Well, the script can be considered “quick-witted” and features a lot of interesting and loved characters. When the last episode was aired in 1998, it pained a lot of people as they noted they would miss the amazing series. However, over 20 years later, here we see co-creators making a lot from the reruns.
Jerry Seinfeld and co-creator Larry David are said to be copping an average of $110 million each per year from the series’ reruns. It is not far-fetched as, during the run of the seasons, Jerry was making an estimated $1 million per episode. Also, there are rumors that the actor could be ranked a billionaire soon should these payments continue.
