How Much Do Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Sandra Oh Get Paid for Grey's Anatomy?
We already knew that, according to Forbes, Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey) got paid $275,000 per episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 8. Is she going to rake in the even bigger bucks for Season 9? And what about her co-stars?
TV Guide writer William Keck recently tweeted this tidbit teasing a new issue of TV Guide Magazine: "New #tvguidemagazine reveals#greysanstomy salaries: #ellenpompeo#Patrickdempsey #sandraoh all earn whopping $350K per episode. Worth it?"
Assuming both Forbes and TV Guide have the right numbers, this means Ellen got a major salary bump when she signed that two season contract that guarantees she — along with the other remaining original cast members like Patrick Dempsey (Derek Shepherd) and Sandra Oh (Cristina Yang) — will stick around at least through Season 10.
What do you think: Is $350K a fair amount for the actors who bring your fave characters to life every week?
Grey’s Anatomy Season 9 will premiere on Thursday, September 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
