Neil Patrick Harris shocked fans of “How I Met Your Mother” by revealing the amount he earned per week while starring in the series.
Actor Neil Patrick Harris surprised fans by disclosing the astonishing weekly salary he received during his time on “How I Met Your Mother,” where he played the charming Barney Stinson.
The show, which had nine seasons, premiered in September 2005 and ended in March 2014. Its longevity and, particularly, its popularity made it especially lucrative for Harris.
In an interview with “The Howard Stern Show“, which took place shortly after the series ended, Harris revealed that he was “well-paid” in the later seasons of the show.
Harris told the host that by the end of the series, he was earning US$ 250,000 per week, not including royalties that the main cast of the show received in the final seasons, which surely significantly increased his earnings.
The actor explained that the cast of ‘How I Met Your Mother‘ negotiated their salaries, and that the main actors in the series received the same amount.
“I feel like everyone proved their worth on the show, everyone worked hard and deserved to be well-paid.”
