2. Jon Hamm, Charlie Sheen and Josh Radnor- $10 million
Starring role in Disney’s Million Dollar Arm and multi-million dollar endorsement deals with Mercedes and American Airlines had indeed made Hamm cash in the heftiest paycheck. His portrayal of AMC’s critically acclaimed period drama of the enigmatic Don Draper on Mad Men is also accredited for his earnings. Reportedly, Hamm, 48, is soon going to appear as the lead actor in the upcoming Minions movie which is an Illumination Entertainment/Universal Pictures spinoff of Despicable Me.
Sheen is cashing in currently from FX’s Anger Management and syndication royalties from Two and a Half Men. The bigger news is, his profits are expected to sky-rocket very soon, per his originally “10/90 deal” with FX that would earn him up to 40% of back-end earnings from Anger Management.
An actor, director and producer, Radnor, 39, earned all $10 million from syndication revenue and last season of HIMYM. The actor is also expected to appear on Broadway soon, as the lead actor in the 2013 Pulitzer Prize winning play Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar.
