Salary of Jason Alexander Seinfeld
For the first few seasons of Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, and Jason Alexander made very little money for their roles as supporting cast members. Before season 5 in 1993, they were able to negotiate raises that made each of them earn $150,000 per episode or about $3.8 million per season. In May 1997, the supporting cast members held out for a huge raise. They wanted $1 million per show or ownership points in the backend. As Jason would explain in the end:
"During our big renegotiation for the last year, Julia, Michael, and I asked for something that I will say to my grave we should have had: a back-end share of the show's income. We were told no in a very clear way, so we had to ask for ungodly wages. We make very little from the reruns, according to Screen Actors Guild rules."
At the time, Jason said to Jerry:
"There will come a day when you'll wish you hadn't made this choice because it will make it look like we ruined what was a great time for the four of us. You've made a gap between you and the three of us, and even though we don't want to be on the same level as you, the gap you've made is also wrong.
The network responded by offering $200,000 and then $400,000. For the last season of the show, the supporting cast made $600,000 per episode, which came out to about $15 million per person. That's like making about $24 million dollars today. Before inflation, the supporting cast of Seinfeld made a total of about $45 million in base pay from the show.
Seinfeld's earnings from reruns
In spite of what most people think, Julia, Michael, and Jason do not make a lot of money from Seinfeld's licensing deals, which, as of this writing, have brought in nearly $4 billion. To make money from distribution sales, you need to own a share of the show. On the show, the supporting players never got back-end points. They do get income when the show airs, but this only adds up to a few hundred thousand dollars per year, not millions as many people think.
On the other hand, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld each made $250 million from syndication sales in 1998 alone. Larry and Jerry were still making at least $50 million a year from distribution points a full 10 years later. Even though they didn't get backend points in 1997, they were able to achieve profit-sharing points on DVD sales, which gave them a small windfall when people bought DVDs.
