Emmy Rossum
American adaptations of British TV shows tend to do a little better than the original, such as Shameless. Emmy Rossum stars as Fiona in the comedy-drama about the Gallagher family and their struggles in poverty. Fiona, the eldest of the children, earned Emmy about $350,000 per episode.
Melissa Rauch
The women of The Big Bang Theory are paid well for their skills. Although she doesn't earn as much as leading lady Kaley Cuoco, Melissa makes a pretty penny playing Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz. She was paid $12 million in 2018 for her performance as the shrill-voiced scientist.
