It's not entirely clear how much Ed O'Neill made during the first seasons of "Married... With Children," but towards the end of the show's run, he had a heck of a lot in the bank. According to Wealthy Peeps, the actor received an estimated $500,000 per episode towards the sitcom's end. With 24 to 28 episodes in those last three seasons, O'Neill made an astonishing $13 million per season, as noted by Wealthy Peeps, and $39 million overall when the show went off the air.

The money didn't stop there. As one of Fox's most successful sitcoms (via Screen Rant), "Married... With Children" continues to rake in revenue with reruns. Now available to watch on streaming services like Prime Video and Hulu, O'Neill earns an estimated $10 million a year from the sitcom despite it ending in 1997.

But it was that pay rise to $500,000 per episode that kept O'Neill on the show until its end, which the actor achieved courtesy of his manager at the time, Bernie Brillstein (via Page Six).
