How much are the cast of Seinfeld worth?
It's been nearly three decades since Seinfeld ended, but it's fair to say the "show about nothing" catapulted its stars to global fame.
The sitcom, created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, follows the lives of friends living in New York and ran for nine much-loved seasons.
Considering how long it went for and how popular it was, the cast would've been raking in big bucks.
Thanks to syndication deals, streaming platforms and successful post-show ventures, Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer are living large in 2024.

The show's humour and unique storytelling style set it apart from anything on TV at the time.
By its later seasons, Seinfeld had become a cultural phenomenon with its stars earning staggering salaries.
In the final season, Jerry Seinfeld himself was reportedly making $1 million per episode – the highest in TV history at the time – while Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards each reportedly earned $600,000 per episode and cementing their status as some of the highest-paid actors on television.
