Cobie Smulders – $6 Million

You would be forgiven if you only knew her as Robin because that’s what most of her fans call her anyway. Robin was the character Cobie Smulders played in “How I Met Your Mother.” The series became her call to fame, and boy did it set her up for life! Smulders was reportedly earning $225K per episode, bringing her salary to $6 million for a single season.

It’s entirely possible she’s been earning more than that since she left the series in 2014 and bagged the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill in the very lucrative Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
