Acting
According to Celebrity Net Worth, in the 1st season of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco was introduced as Penny in the show and was paid a sum of $50,000 per episode. She was paid the same amount for the second and third seasons. However, once the show became a global success, the makers had to renegotiate the payment with each star of the show. After renegotiating, Kaley Cuoco bagged a hike and was paid $200,000 per episode for season 4. By the time the show reached its 5th season, the whole cast agreed to a $50,000 raise for the next three seasons, which resulted in Cuoco and the other cast members making a total of $350,000 by season 7.
Heading to season 8, renegotiations were once again in the cards as the lead cast members renegotiated to $1 million per episode for the following three seasons (until season 10). By the final two seasons (11 & 12), the core members took a pay cut from $1 Million to $900,000 per episode to help their co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch get a pay increase.
