You may have thought you unpacked everything from ‘Stranger Things 3,’ but the top three earning actors just might surprise you.
According to CableTV.com, Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder and David Harbour each made $350,000 per episode of the Netflix series. Broken down, this means they made $1.10 per second and $3,960 per hour. There are eight episodes in the latest season.
This not only made Brown the youngest of the three to be among the highest salary collectors. This also means the 15-year-old actress made more than her demon-busting squad.
Six members from the crew follow, with Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Noah Schnapp all earning $100,000 less. This translates to $0.80 per second and $2,820 per hour.
Both Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery, who are new additions to the series, made $150,000 per episode. This still means they earned $0.50 per second and $1,680 per hour.
These salaries are a significant raise from the $30,000 actors made in the first two seasons of the streaming-based hit.
To put this all in perspective, the average United States household salary is $47,060, which equates to $0.01 per second if you make $23 per hour.
It looks like Brown’s character, Eleven, will buy more than ice cream at the iconic Starcourt Mall.
