Hey Gabblers – Wetpaint posted an article showing that Ellen Pompeo made the Forbes (which is where they got their info, of course) List of Top 10 Highest Paid TV Actresses in 2012. Here's more.
Ellen Pompeo Makes Forbes List of Top 10 Highest Paid TV Actresses in 2012
Forbes magazine published a list today (July 18) of the top 20 highest-paid actresses on television, and one of our all-time favorite stars made the list at #8: Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey), who reportedly makes $9 million per year.
According to Forbes, Ellen earned $275,000 per episode on Season 8, and she is most likely looking at a "considerable jump in salary for Seasons 9 and 10," her commitment to which we reported on in May. Plus, the highly syndicated Grey's brings in buckets of income in the form of residuals.
Adding to Ellen's annual income is her production company Calamity Jane's first big sale. As we learned last year, the relatively new company sold a spy drama with a female lead to ABC Studios.
All that success puts Ellen on the same earning level as New Girl's Zooey Deschanel and former Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman. How much more do you think Ellen will earn once Season 9 starts filming this summer?

WooHoo! Yay for Ellen! Although I know the amounts of money are ridiculous (for us everyday folks) I still like knowing that Ellen is up there. I think she is one of the most under appreciated actresses on TV. I'm willing to bet that the money she is making for the next 2 years is a lot higher than that. PD too. I'm glad that she comes out in the top even if it's not in the awards department. What do you think, Gabblers? Talk below.
