Matt LeBlanc revealed that Warner Bros. made a $4 million per episode Friends rerun deal in 1996 that only required FOUR of the six stars to stay

When the cast found out, they decided to negotiate together, and eventually all six secured $1,000,000 each per episode.

At the time, the actors were earning between $20,000 and $40,000 per episode, while Warner Bros. had already made a fortune selling the rights to air Friends reruns

but according to LeBlanc, there was a condition in the deal that only required four of the original six actors to remain on the show.

That meant Warner Bros. could potentially replace two of them without losing its massive rerun deal

LeBlanc recalled that the cast started wondering which two actors the studio considered expendable

Rather than negotiating separately, all six agreed to stick together and demand equal pay

Even David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, who were making more than the others, agreed to the arrangement.

Their first collective negotiations in 1996 brought their salaries to around $75,000 each per episode, and they continued negotiating together over the following years

By 2002, every member of the Friends cast was earning $1 MILLION per episode, plus a share of the show's rerun profits

Warner Bros. was now paying all six actors a combined $6 million for every new episode!

Rasmr thinks he got scammed after buying a PS5 Pro for $1,300 on Facebook Marketplace

“It’s light as shit too. Like, it’s so light... This is an empty shell of a case”

“They must have taken out the f*cking graphics card or something. This is so cheap. This is not heavy... It’s so lightweight”

“did I just get scammed? ... F*ck, just got scammed, bro. This isn’t even the real one. This shit is ass. What is wrong with it?”

Rasmr agrees with Orangie that GTA 6 could push Miami real estate prices higher

Orangie: “I think with the release of GTA 6, Miami real estate is gonna go up. Specifically, like, downtown Brickell area”

“Everyone from around the world will be like, ‘Holy shit, this is like where the young rich people are’ ‘That’s your thesis on buying an apartment?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘It’s because of GTA 6?’ ‘Yes’”

Rasmr: “The reason why I think he’s right is because... it doesn’t take that many people moving to a city to move real estate... It’s not the worst thesis ever”

Rasmr says Zcash’s female developers are doing more with their lives than the men mocking them

“Women in crypto just get the short end of the stick, and you see this with Zcash”

“There’s a video of a woman sitting there just giving her opinions on cryptography and development of Zcash... and just because she’s a woman, people are making fun of her, and I think it’s just f*cked up”

“A lot of you guys are men, and you’re not doing shit with your lives. A lot of you guys are men, and you’re wasting your lives. So the fact that you’re criticizing women who are contributing to the frontier of technology, it’s a little bit appalling ... I think that a lot of women out there are better than y’all”

Jason Alexander made just $250,000 from Seinfeld reruns by 2004, while Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David had earned HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. When producers wanted him back for the DVD release, he refused until they agreed to give him a cut!

in 1997, Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards tried to negotiate a share of Seinfeld's syndication profits, but were rejected.

so they demanded $1 MILLION per episode to stay on the show, eventually settling for $600,000 each!

but the real money came after Seinfeld ended. By 2004, the three supporting stars had each received only around $250,000 in rerun residuals, while the show's creators had made hundreds of millions.

then producers wanted the cast to record interviews and bonus material for the DVD release.

Alexander and Louis-Dreyfus refused to participate for small recording fees while receiving no share of the DVD royalties!

the standoff delayed the release until February 2004, when producers finally agreed to give the supporting stars a cut of DVD royalties.

Alexander agreed to participate, finally securing a share of the DVD revenue!

Hugh Grant was offered $750,000 per episode to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. He was reportedly moments away from signing the contract before suddenly walking out. Ashton Kutcher took his place and ended up making $63 MILLION.

in 2011, after Charlie Sheen was fired, creator Chuck Lorre approached Hugh Grant with a deal that included a four day workweek!

but Grant had one major concern. He was terrified of performing in front of a live studio audience!

Lorre even offered to remove the audience entirely and use prerecorded laughter instead!

The negotiations progressed until Grant was reportedly sitting with a pen in his hand, ready to sign the contract

then, according to Lorre, he abruptly walked out and became unreachable. His representatives later confirmed he wasn’t taking the job.

Lorre thought the show was finished, but CBS chairman Les Moonves insisted he meet Ashton Kutcher instead.

Kutcher joined the cast for another four seasons, reportedly earning $63 million during his time on the show!

Keanu Reeves was once sued for nearly $3 MILLION a month by a woman who claimed he fathered her four children. When a DNA test proved otherwise, she claimed he had used HYPNOSIS to manipulate the results

in 2009, a Canadian woman named Karen filed a lawsuit against Reeves, demanding $3 million (canadian) a month in spousal support and another C$150,000 a month in child support.

She wanted the spousal payments retroactive to 2006 and the child support dating all the way back to 1988, even though her four children were already adults.

Reeves denied ever meeting her, but Sala insisted they had known each other since childhood. She claimed she originally knew him by another name, Marty Spencer, and even suggested he had disguised himself as her ex-husband.

Reeves eventually took a DNA test, which ruled him out as the father of her children.

but Karen refused to accept the results, suggesting the tests had been tampered with or that Reeves had used hypnosis to influence them

in January 2010, an Ontario judge dismissed the case, calling her allegations too incredible for any reasonable judge to accept.

She was also ordered to pay Reeves C$15,000 in legal costs ☠️

Ben Affleck once gave away his entire $140,000 blackjack winnings to casino workers. 14 years later, the same casino stopped him from playing because he was “too good” at the game

in August 2000, Affleck was playing blackjack with Matt Damon at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas when he won $140,000

instead of keeping the money, he gave his entire winnings to casino employees, including dealers, waitresses and bellhops.

in 2004, Affleck entered the California State Poker Championship, competing against 90 players, including Tobey Maguire, and won $356,400

Affleck also studied card counting, a legal technique that helps blackjack players track cards and improve their odds against the casino.

in April 2014, security at the Hard Rock approached him during a blackjack game and reportedly told him he was “too good at the game”

He was no longer allowed to play blackjack there 😹

Affleck later confirmed he’d been counting cards and that casinos had restricted him from playing blackjack.

Charlie Sheen rejected a $72 MILLION offer to stay on Two and a Half Men and demanded $100 MILLION instead. The studio agreed, but less than a year later, he was fired from the show

In 2010, Sheen was negotiating a new contract with Warner Bros., which initially offered him $1 million per episode for another two seasons, totaling $48 million

Sheen rejected the offer, and negotiations continued until the studio increased it to $72 million

His lawyer, Jake Bloom, spent 25 minutes trying to convince him to accept, explaining that the money would provide financial security for his grandchildren

but Sheen refused again,

While his manager, Mark Burg, was heading to a Lakers playoff game, Sheen told him over the phone that he wanted $100 million or he wouldn't return

His lawyer passed the demand to CBS and Warner Bros. executives during the national anthem. Before the game started, they agreed to his terms

The deal made Sheen the highest-paid actor on television, with a reported contract value of $100 million over two seasons

However, in March 2011, Warner Bros. fired Sheen following his public feud with the show's producers, ending his contract before he could collect its full value!

Jason Sudeikis initially turned down a fourth season of Ted Lasso despite being offered more than $1 MILLION per episode

by Season 3 in 2023, Sudeikis was already earning around $1 million per episode, including his acting, writing and producing work

but he’d always envisioned Ted Lasso as a three season story, and the finale ended with Ted returning home to be with his son.

Sudeikis felt the story was finished and didn’t want to continue the show just for another massive paycheck.

“That wasn’t a negotiation tactic,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in July 2026.

Eventually, he reconsidered, realizing how much playing Ted meant to him personally.

He brought the writers back together to explore another season, and Ted Lasso returned in August 2026, with Ted coaching a women’s football team in Richmond.

Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed to star in Twins (1988) for $0 upfront, then ended up making more than $40 MILLION from it, his biggest movie payday ever

by the late 1980s, Arnold was one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars, but studios weren’t convinced he could succeed in comedy.

so he teamed up with Danny DeVito and director Ivan Reitman and proposed an unusual deal.

All three agreed to take no upfront salary in exchange for a share of the movie’s revenue, with Arnold later saying their combined deal gave them 40% of the backend.

Twins was released in 1988 and grossed more than $216 million worldwide, generating additional revenue from home video and rentals.

in June 2025, Arnold revealed that he’d personally earned over $40,000,000 from Twins, more than any of his Terminator movies!
