4. Ellen Pompeo – Grey’s Anatomy – $14.5 million
You know Ellen Pompeo from Grey’s Anatomy whether you watch the show or not. It’s now in its 13thseason, so you’d have to be living under a rock not to have noticed it or its stars at some point. Still bringing in about 9 million viewers an episode, the following for this medical drama is dedicated and easy to please; no, just kidding about that last part.
Despite Pompeo’s uncanny ability to avoid being nominated for any serious awards, she’s managed to wrangle in a crazy $14.5 million pay per year. Ask her fans and they’d say she deserves it. She’s a national treasure in their eyes. She deserves that kind of money considering the amount of wildly complicated and rare medical cases that come through those hospital doors every day.
If we’ve learned anything from TV, the cure is never what you think at first, unless you quickly moved off of that initial thought, then it will turn out to be correct in the end. Hmm. Maybe being a doctor isn’t that hard after all.
