The Hidden Wealth of Reruns
The Secret to Eternal Income
Ever wonder why your favorite actors seem to live in mansions and drive Ferraris? It’s not just their stellar acting skills—it’s the reruns! Each time a show airs, they get a check. Imagine getting paid to do absolutely nothing but binge-watch your own work. It’s the ultimate lazy person’s dream job! These rerun checks can keep coming for decades, ensuring a steady stream of income long after the cameras stop rolling.
The Seinfeld Phenomenon
Take “Seinfeld,” for instance. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David reportedly pocketed around $400 million each from rerun deals. Yes, you read that right. While we’re counting pennies, they’re counting millions, all thanks to a show that’s been off the air since 1998. Talk about making a living off past glories! The show continues to generate massive revenue through syndication, streaming platforms, and DVD sales.
