The "Seinfeld" stars were the highest-paid cast in TV history when they signed their contracts in 1997. Jerry Seinfeld alone was earning a ridiculous $1 million per episode (about $1.6 million today).

All the major cast members walked away from the show with considerable fortunes, but some made more than others (cough, Jerry, cough). According to CelebrityNetWorth, here is the full list of "Seinfeld" cast members' net worth, ranked.
