The final paycheck for Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow made them the highest paid women in television. That $1,000,000 per episode figure capped a specific progression that started at $22,500, then moved to $75,000, followed by $125,000, and later jumped to $750,000 before landing on the million-dollar mark. Lisa Kudrow explained this structure removed bitterness regarding the numbers season by season because it just got rid of the drama around the escalating pay. #JenniferAniston

I didn't think that anyone in my family liked that show.
