Sam Waterston
Show & Seasons: Law & Order – 20
Last Episode Airdate: May 24, 2010
Passive Earning: Average of $5,000 per year
Sam Waterston played an amazing role in Law & Order, so great that it earned him a Golden Globe Award. His career in the movie industry has also been on a high as he has earned lots of other awards to include an Oscar Award – from a role he played on The Killing Fields. A lot of people will agree that Waterston’s characters are always dramatic, and as such, it is no surprise he features in the Netflix hit show, Grace & Frankie.
Waterston currently earns a lot from Grace & Frankie as well as a nice yearly check from the reruns of Law & Order. For the pipeline, it is said he is slated to feature in some spin-offs of Law & Order to include Law & Order: SVU for which it is recorded he will make $50 thousand per year.

Johnny Galecki
Show & Seasons: The Big Bang Theory – 12
Last Episode Airdate: May 16, 2019
Passive Earning: $10 Million per year
The Big Bang Theory has been running for a long time, and during that period, Johnny Galecki has been a stalwart member of the cast. He played the role of Leonard, and along with all the other stars, thanks to this series, they have all become millionaires. Big Bang can be considered an empire, and with the millions it has earned its stars, it also banked in billions from its airings. The first episode was shown back in 2007 and ended in May 2019.
We can safely say Galecki earns a decent check each year from the reruns amounting to an average of $10 million. For those who were sad that the series ended, they can find joy in the fact that a spin-off, Young Sheldon, has been renewed for an additional season.
