Royalties and Residuals
Later in the set, when the cast’s power was at its peak, the three main cast members (Kelly, Johnny Galecki, and Jim Parsons) negotiated a deal to each own 1% of the show back-end equity. In its first year of joint sales, the show generated $1 billion in revenue. That means all three earned an additional $10 million in their first year. Joint sales are tapering off, but they should make about $10 million a year for the next decade.
Additionally, as a Screen Actors Guild show, The Big Bang Theory cast is entitled to 80% of their original salary during the show’s first year of reruns. Essentially a double dip of 80%. They were arguably the last show to get such a lucrative deal after SAG and AFRTRA merged and adopted AFTRA’s remaining standard, which pays actors for guest starring on show reruns. To understand the difference, under the SAG, someone like Kaley might make $800,000 per episode when the show is rerun for the first time. As a result, she initially earned $24 million and then received a residual income worth $19 million in the future.
