Some of the highest-paid actors on streaming services are paid $250,000+ per episode, but Rogen was not listed as one of them in Business Insider's report, which was done six years before the Pam and Tommy release in 2022. That said, he likely earned at least in the low seven-figures for the series since he was also a producer on the project.
