William Petersen One Of TV’s’ Highest Paid Actors

by

Most of this knew this already but when William Petersen leaves CSI this fall he’ll leave as one of the small screen’s highest wage earners. According to E! Online, WP earns $600,000. He’s only out earned by Charlie Sheen who brings home $825,000 per episode. Law and Order SVU’s Mariska Hargity is the most well compensated woman on television at $400,000 an ep. Kyra Sedgwick who leads the Closer cast is the “highest-paid actress in a cable drama” with her $275,000 per episode paycheck.

Other big money TV folks are:

American Idol’s Simon Cowell who makes $50 million to tell people they can’t sing.

David Letter who nets $32 million for hosting CBS’ Late Show.

And of course Miz Oprah who makes five million kazillion dollars a year for waking up in the morning.  Actually she pulls in $382 million a year.

Sigh.  I love blogging but I wonder if they’ve filled Billy’s spot yet.  I’d make a good CSI.  What?
