The cast of Friends used collective bargaining to level out their salaries. As an ensemble cast, they wanted to be treated as equals as their wages grew from $22K per episode to $1M. Each cast member of Friends earned around $90 million in base salary alone from the show before the addition of any backend bonuses and ongoing royalties from syndication, racking each actor up an impressive net worth. For 10 seasons, the Friends cast was considered the gold standard of sitcom television, but where do they stand financially today? Here is the net worth of the Friends cast ranked from richest to poorest.

Facebook Watch animated comedy Human Discoveries wields an impressive cast, using the dawn of civilization as its backdrop.
Human Discoveries, an animated comedy series offering for the burgeoning lineup of Facebook Watch, will manifest on the streaming platform as a Yabba-Dabba-Doo-less look at modern idiosyncrasies through a prehistoric lens, headlined by main voice actors Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick.
Set at the dawn of human civilization, the series focuses on a group of friends who are the first to discover key concepts such as fire and the wheel. Yet, the series will also, per the official description, “stumble onto humanity's best, and worst, innovations. Art. Alcohol. Fashion. Racism. Small talk. And, much to their confusion, monogamy.”
In the latest news on Human Discoveries, Facebook has announced the show's release date.
