For the first season of Friends, the main cast of the show received the same salary: $22,500 per episode. According to various reports, David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston received an increase to $40,000 during the second season. However, the cast subsequently negotiated as a group for equal pay, reportedly at the suggestion of Schwimmer. This strategy gave them incredible bargaining power, and for the last two seasons, each actor made $1 million per episode.
