Sarah Michelle Gellar
The world fell in love with actress Sarah Michele Gellar when she starred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was based on the film starring Kristy Swanson. In the series, Gellar was cast to play a Chosen One fated to fight demons, vampires, and the like. The show earned a loyal following and remained on the air for six seasons. From 1997 to 2003, it spawned a total of 144 episodes. The theme song was rather ironic too! You can still catch reruns of the TV show on UPN. Thanks to this, she rakes in about a million bucks in residual checks. We are sure that she can bank on this for quite some time.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Where do we even start with Julia Louis- Dreyfus? She made it big on the global stage by playing Elaine in the long-running sitcom Seinfeld. Aside from the TV show, she also made us laugh during her time on Veep and SNL. She has played a lot of iconic roles over the years. The actress continues to make millions of dollars from Seinfeld, which was on the air from 1989 to 1998. In fact, it is not rare for her to receive questions about it during interviews. She once joked that the motto of the show was, “No learning, no hugging.” If you feel nostalgic about it, you can still catch its reruns on NBC. Jerry Seinfeld owns the rights to it, which has turned him into one of the wealthiest comedians ever. So that you know, Seinfeld rakes in $400 million in residuals.
