In 2014, The Big Bang Theory stars Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Jim Parsons signed new three-year deals worth $1 million per episode that, in addition to “bonuses and back-end fees,” will pay them each about $90 million by 2017. That’s some Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser money right there. You know who’s not going to see any of that dough? Cuoco’s ex-husband, Ryan Sweeting. Okay, that’s not completely accurate: He gets $165,000, and according to TMZ, the “cash and gift certificates in his possession.”
Otherwise, Cuoco, who once said that she likes “the idea of women taking care of their men” and “serving [Sweeting],” keeps it all. She ain’t no punk.
Kaley got hitched in 2013, and months later she reportedly signed a staggering $72 million contract — $1 million an episode for 72 shows. That money is protected under the prenup. She [also] gets their home in Tarzana and their Santa Barbara area beach house.
Ryan did… not so well.
He walks away with a lump sum parting gift of $165,000. She’s also agreed to pay the $195,000 bill for his two personal trainers. (Via)
If you’re looking for Sweeting, who married and then got divorced to a rich, attractive, multi-millionaire sitcom star, you can find at the downtown TGI Friday’s, hoping his gift certificates are eligible during happy hour.
