Who Are The Highest-Earning TV Actors?

Let's take a look at some of the highest-paid actors in television and the hit shows bringing in their big salaries. Sylvester Stallone is believed to earn approximately $2 million per episode for Paramount+'s 'Tulsa King'. He stars as Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a New York mafia boss who is released from prison after 25 years and sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to establish a new criminal operation.
