Jim Parsons received $ 26.5 million (23.3 million euros) between June 2017 and June 2018 for 24 episodes of The Big Bang Theory. Whoever plays the role of the unbearable genius Sheldon Cooper has become the best-paid actor of American TV, according to the magazine's ranking Forbes published this Wednesday, October 24th.

CBS announced the discontinuation of the series

The famous series seems generous since its stars trust the first places of this list. Behind Jim Parsons, we find Johnny Galecki (who plays Leonard Hofstadter) with $ 25 million annually and Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali) and Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) with 23.5 million.

These miraculous cachets certainly played a role in CBS's decision to stop the series after the current season. The financial effort seems too important for the chain even if The Big Bang Theory has already allowed him to grab ten
Emmy awards, the Oscars of American television.

Created in 2006, the series follows a band of buddies both talented scientists and geeks. It quickly became cult and was even the second most-watched series in the US in 2017-2018.
