Courteney Cox From “Friends,” $20 Million Per Year
Courteney Cox was arguably the most famous member of the “Friends” cast when the series first premiered, and although she was originally destined to play Rachel, it turns out that there was no one better suited to play her quirky and reliable friend Monica. Cox, like the rest of the cast, continues to act frequently, but doesn’t really need to thanks to the incredible amount that she makes each year due to residuals.
