Sarah Jessica Parker | Sex and the City

Sex and the City took the TV industry by storm during the late ’90s. It premiered in 1998, and HBO’s investments and commercial success took it to six strong seasons. The story revolved around four women in their mid-30s and how they lived their lives in New York. Sarah Jessica Parker played the role of Carrie Bradshaw. Sarah was the center of the show, and reports say that during the first three seasons, Sarah received a total of $50 million, while during the last three, she took home $3.2 million per episode.

All in all, the show earned her over $200 million. Moreover, she also took home massive paychecks in the two feature films of the series. Sarah was paid $15 million for the first and $20 million for its sequel. Last year, HBO announced that they would be funding a reboot of Sex and the City. A report recently discussed that it would see a renaming to And Just Like That and star the original prominent cast members.
