One of the most insanely productive paydays in entertainment history.
During FRIENDS' peak, cast members walked away with $1M per episode. Yeah, that's already jaw-dropping. But wait—it gets wilder:
Warner Bros still pulls in roughly $1B annually from the show. Twenty-plus years later. And each cast member? Still collecting checks.
That's not just a job—that's building an asset that never stops paying.

This is true passive income—lying back and earning for twenty years without stopping.
