“SEINFELD” CREATORS JERRY SEINFELD AND LARRY DAVID ARE SHARING BILLIONS -THEIR COSTARS GET NADA
We were staggered to learn that the TV series “Seinfeld” has earned an amazing $2.7 BILLION DOLLARS since it went OFF the air 12 years ago. According to the NY Post it is the most profitable half hour in TV history. 180 episodes of Seinfeld were made during it’s 9 year run – and that adds up to each show earning 14 million so far. This means that Jerry Seinfeld and his co-creator Larry David have taken in hundreds of millions each for RERUNS of the show. Unfortunately, costars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards get NOTHING from syndication. It doesn’t seem fair. The only other series likely to top Seinfeld’s earnings someday is “The Simpsons.”
