Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Friends Series by Paige Tyler Untamed Wolf — Paige Tyler. The guys in the Special Wolf Alpha Team (SWAT) are hotter than ever. SWAT werewolf Diego Martinez was on a mission to save lives when he walked into the hostage situation -- he didn't expect to find a newly turned teenage werewolf and the kid's fiercely protective mother. For Bree Harlow and her son, Brandon, Diego is a godsend, and not just because he saved the day. Bree has spent the years since her divorce trying to do her best by Brandon. But lately the boy who used to tell her everything has been keeping secrets. In the face of all the bizarre things happening at home, there's something about Diego that Bree can't resist -- especially when he's able to explain Brandon's new abilities. But the hostage incident was just the start in a wave of violence that no one can explain, and when Bree and Brandon are caught in the middle, Diego will do everything in his power to protect the family he wants as his own. Here's How Much The Cast Of Friends Is Worth Today. Friends solidified its place among '90s sitcom royalty long before its 10-year run came to an end in 2004. With production company Warner Bros. still generating an astounding $1 billion a year from the series alone, per USA Today , it seems only right that the actors who portrayed the Central Perk gang — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer — have continued to clap- clap-clap-clap their way to the bank. The beloved group of six famously negotiated to make $1 million per episode each during the show's final seasons. But how have they fared financially since they stopped making that coveted Friends money? Well, it's actually kept on rolling in thanks to syndication rights — at least for the main cast. According to Marketplace , this talented sextet makes an astounding $20 million per year — each — from TV royalties alone, and this number reportedly only increased when the show found its new home on Netflix in the mid-2010s. But they haven't just been feeding their bank accounts these insane TV residuals. From box office smashes to endorsement deals, we've got the scoop on how much the cast of Friends is worth today. David Schwimmer (Ross Geller) Best known as paleontologist Ross Geller, David Schwimmer delivered an Emmy-nominated performance as a character audiences either loved or hated. While increasingly making bank throughout the show's run (and after) gave him the financial stability to pursue various on-screen and behind-the-scenes endeavors, the actor-director struggled with his overnight fame, telling The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast that balancing work with his celebrity was so "tricky" that it "took years . to adjust to." To further complicate things, Schwimmer has often found himself typecast. Calling his Friends success a "paradox," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2016, "I don't really have a strategy. Maybe if I did I'd be a much bigger film actor or star." These difficulties led Schwimmer to noticeably spend his post- Friends career largely out of the spotlight — but that doesn't mean he was on a break (we had to). While the Madagascar voice actor still continued to find work (and add to his savings) in Tinseltown and on the Great White Way, 2016 saw his highly-anticipated return to the small screen. Following his critically-acclaimed turn as Robert Kardashian on American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson , he landed a recurring role as Debra Messing's on-screen love interest Noah on Will & Grace two years later. With his on-screen prospects looking up as of this writing, Schwimmer's multi-talents have led him to obtain a reported net worth of $85 million. Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green) While the Friends gang have all gone on to find varying degrees of success in showbiz, Jennifer Aniston undeniably became the show's biggest breakout star after leaving the role of Rachel Green behind — which we honestly should've seen coming considering there was a literal haircut named after her alter ego. After nabbing an Emmy Award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series in 2002, the TV star refocused her career on the big screen in a slew of box office smash hits like Bruce Almighty , We're the Millers , and Marley and Me . But she didn't just act. According to Elle , business mogul Aniston has not only run her own Echo Films production company since 2008, but has also landed several lucrative endorsement deals with the likes of SmartWater, Emirate Airline, and Aveeno. She even co-owned the hair-care company Living Proof until 2016. Oh, and as of this writing, Variety reports that she'll top her Friends salary with a whopping $1.1 million per episode to star in the Apple TV+ dramedy, The Morning Show . (No wonder she can afford this jaw-droppingly gorgeous Bel Air, Calif. mansion). Aniston, who reportedly used to clean toilets for pocket cash in high school, was one of the world's highest-paid actresses in 2018. Due to her multifaceted artistic and financial efforts, she's unsurprisingly maintained the biggest net worth of her former co-stars at a reported $240 million. Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing) Before leaving the role of funnyman Chandler Bing behind in 2004, Matthew Perry had unfortunately already begun struggling both personally and professionally. According to People , he went through multiple rehab stints due to his longtime battle with prescription pills and alcohol addiction. Throughout his journey toward sobriety, the TV star continued to work, albeit to varying success. In addition to appearing in various box office flops like The Whole Ten Yards and 17 Again (via Box Office Mojo ), Perry starred in a number of short-lived TV series like Mr. Sunshine and The Odd Couple . However, he's devoted much of his time to executive producing and writing in more recent years, according to The New York Times . That said, it doesn't look like Perry's itching to make that Friends money again, as he's openly spoken out against the idea of doing a reboot. "I have this nightmare that we do Friends again and nobody cares," he told Vanity Fair in 2017, adding, "So if anybody asks me, I'm gonna say no. The thing is: we ended on such a high. We can't beat it. Why would we go and do it again?" Could he BE making a better point? Besides, with a reported net worth of $80 million, we'd say Perry's continued to do pretty well for himself. Courteney Cox (Monica Geller) Courteney Cox — a.k.a. Friends ' own high-strung chef Monica Geller — initially struggled to maintain her television superstar momentum in the mid-2000s. After having to pass the iconic role of Teri Hatcher's Susan Mayer on Desperate Housewives "for personal reasons" (via Rolling Stone ), the actress appeared in the critical flop Zoom . To add insult to injury, Cox's next small screen endeavor, the 2007 series Dirt , failed to survive the writers' strike after suffering from dwindling ratings and lukewarm critical reception. The Scream star thankfully found her footing after launching Coquette Productions in 2004, according to People . The production company, which she shares with ex-husband David Arquette, went on to produce the actress' next big claim to fame: Cougar Town . However, like her on-screen husband Matthew Perry, Cox has gone on record to say that a Friends reunion is indeed a no-go. "We're not doing it!" she told Yahoo'd Myself in 2015. "It's just not going to happen." Still, this multi-talent clearly isn't hurting for her old NBC salary. While wearing multiple hats as actress, director, and producer, Cox has been able to maintain her on-screen presence while reportedly accumulating an impressive net worth of $120 million. Way to go, Mon. Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) Just before landing the role of the lovable yet womanizing aspiring actor Joey Tribbiani on Friends , Matt LeBlanc was broke. "I had, I think, I was down to $11," he revealed during an appearance on Conan in 2019. "Now that's holding out too long. Because even if I said at that point, 'All right, I'm going to go get, like, a waiter job,' by the time that $11 ran out, it would have been before the first paycheck on that job. I would have starved." Unlike his former co-stars, the actor understandably held onto his most popular character long after the show wrapped. LeBlanc went on to star on his own spin-off series, Joey , in 2004. The ill-fated sitcom was cancelled after two seasons due to low ratings, but as the TV star told The Guardian in 2012, "I made a f**king s**tload of money, so call it a failure all you want." While LeBlanc's on-screen career appeared to be in trouble, he turned things around after a five-year hiatus by playing a version of himself for six seasons on Episodes . The successful gig earned him a Golden Globe in 2012, and the actor's follow-up turn on CBS' Man with a Plan was renewed for a third season in 2018 (via Deadline ). So, how you doin', Matt LeBlanc? Well, we'd say our guy is doing just fine financially these days, with a reported net worth of $80 million.
