Garcelle Beauvais (The Jamie Foxx Show) – $700,000
He might be an Oscar winner now, but Jamie Foxx hasn’t always been so critically acclaimed. Between 1996 and 2001, the now-A-lister starred as the lead on The WB’s (now The CW) The Jamie Foxx Show. While semi-autobiographical in nature, no plot line on the show could have predicted his massive success.

Despite the fame that resulted, The Jamie Foxx Show co-stars still have to pay their bills. Garcelle Beauvais, the actress who played Foxx’s wife on the show, reportedly earns $700,000 from reruns each year — that’s nearly a real Hollywood star’s salary for doing nothing.
