CSI, cbs, CSI las vegas, William Petersen
there is definitely some wacked out math here, you hollywood types should leave it to the accountants or anyone that can add ans substract for that matter. if there is 22 episodes per season on average on the network channels and peterson makes 500k per episode that is 11,000,000 with the big M in it. Personally I don’t care how bored I was or hated everyone there I’d stay till they cared me out feet first. he will never get a gig like this again, proof of that is fishburne is willing to go to tv in the 10th season for it. Hello, how about staying one more year and donating that money to a worthy cause if you don’t want it. btw, I acted in elementary school as scrooge, how about a chance, at reduced price of course. lets saaaaay , oh I don;t know,,,,,250K per episode?
The current wages for for the “ONLY” good CSI cast of las vegas is: (ALL PER EPISODE) William Peterson-500,000/Marg Helgenberger -325,000/Gary Durdan-250,000/George Eads-200,000
Wait a minute, if he makes $500,000 an episode and the rest makes around $100,000 than that means that he makes $5 million in 10 episodes where the rest make around $1 million in 10 episodes. My… Which means he’s made roughly around $87,500,000 in the past seven years!!!!! Yeah they pay him waaay too much. What does he do with it all? He’s set for life, man. He’s probably got like 5 houses in the country and another 8 in the world, 31 cars, and a private jet. Man, I need to get into showbusiness! :D
I think they should check their numbers again because if WP is making 500000 an episode and there are between 20 and 23 episodes a year he is making between 10 and 11.5 million a year.
