<\/p>\nFRIENDS star Matthew Perry stole hearts across the globe for his role as the charming and sarcastic Chandler Bing in the 90's sitcom.<\/p>\n
He tragically passed away at the age of 54 on Saturday, October 28, 2023.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Matthew Perry not only starred in the iconic Friends series, but he also made appearances in film and TV favourites throughout his career.<\/p>\n
He starred in movies like The Ron Clark Story,\u00a0Fools Rush In, The Whole Nine Yards,\u00a0and\u00a017 Again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perry also took up roles in TV projects like\u00a0The Odd Couple.<\/p>\n
As of October, the actor had an estimated net worth of $120million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.<\/p>\n
His giant fortune was thanks to his career not only in acting but also for his work as an executive producer and screenwriter.<\/p>\n
The TV icon played the well-recognized character, Chandler Bing, in the 90s Friends sitcom, which aired for over ten years.<\/p>\n
In 2002, Perry and his five co-stars made history by striking the first-ever $1million per-episode pay deal, according to US Weekly.<\/p>\n
The cast negotiated together and threatened to quit the show if they were not paid the same.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At the time, it was the largest-ever paycheck for a 30-minute-long TV show.<\/p>\n In the early days of Friends, according to\u00a0MarketPlace,\u00a0Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer were reportedly paid $22,500 per episode. <\/p>\n But by the third season, the group was reportedly making $100,000 per episode.<\/p>\n Perry is reported to have earned at least $90million from his decade on\u00a0Friends.<\/p>\n But his payout from Friends didn't stop when the series ended.<\/p>\n In 2004 when the show came to an end, the clever negotiation skills of the cast meant they have each made significant profits in the years since thanks to syndication payments.<\/p>\n While Warner Bros earns about $1billion a year from reruns of the show,\u00a0USA Today\u00a0reported in 2015, the six cast members were pocketing around 2 per cent of that – an annual income of about $20million.<\/p>\n Although Perry's net worth is reportedly a staggering $120million, some of his Friends' costars have overtaken this figure.<\/p>\n His friend in the sitcom Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, has a huge net worth of $320million, according to Cosmopolitan.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s unsurprising, considering she's been a household name for the past two and a half decades.<\/p>\n Aniston has been in 70 movies and has also directed and produced her own.<\/p>\n David Schwimmer played Ross Geller on Friends and the love interest of Rachel Green.<\/p>\n His estimated net worth sits at a whopping $134million.<\/p>\n Schwimmer's career extended far beyond\u00a0Friends\u00a0and into the broader realms of TV and film.<\/p>\n He voiced the character Melman in the successful animated film series\u00a0Madagascar.<\/p>\n And he has also ventured into producing and directing various projects including the critically acclaimed miniseries\u00a0Band of Brothers.<\/p>\n Ross Geller's sister in Friends, Monica Geller, played by Courtney Cox, is now estimated to have a net worth of around $189million.<\/p>\n She starred in all 236 of the show's episodes over 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004. <\/p>\n Outside of Friends, both before and after, she has enjoyed a successful film and television career.<\/p>\n Prior to Friends she notably starred in the 1994 Jim Carrey movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and 19 episodes of Family Ties in the late 1980s. <\/p>\n After Friends, she starred in the series Dirt which lasted 20 episodes, and Cougar Town, which aired 102 episodes. <\/p>\n She's also best known for starring in the "Scream" franchise, having made appearances in six installments to date. <\/p>\n In 2023, Courteney Cox received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n Matt LeBlanc, who played heartthrob Joey Tribbiani in Friends, has an estimated net worth of of around $126million.<\/p>\n The actor's first on-screen appearance was in a Heinz Tomato Ketchup advert but his portrayal of Joey earned him a significant source of income, and his character ended up receiving a spin-off series titled\u00a0Joey.<\/p>\n LeBlanc also entered the world of automobile culture by becoming a host of\u00a0Top Gear.<\/p>\n Finally, Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow has an estimated net worth of roughly $110million, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tyson-fury-reacts-in-between-855700841.jpg\")
