Seinfeld Cast Made the Big Bucks

From the May 31, 2015, Yahoo! Finance/CNBC"'Seinfeld cast members made money hand over fist."

Jerry Seinfeld reportedly turned down a $100 million contract, $5 million per episode, to make one more season of his highly acclaimed series.

By the ninth and final season, he was making one million dollars an episode.  His three co-stars were making around $600,000 a show.  these contracts were the record at NBC until the six cast members of "Friends" made $1 million each per episode.

Starting with the very first "Seinfeld" episode, CNBC did an analysis to determine who played the biggest roles.  Jerry Seinfeld was the most talkative, but his lines declined as the series continued.

Cosmo Kramer played a bigger role as the series went on and George Costanza and Elaine Benes stayed about the same.
