On television, they live in McMansions and get a big, fat tax break for being in that upper-income bracket. In the
real world, they probably drive Subarus and are stressed out about paying for college. An article on a job website
explores the real-life salaries of some of our favorite characters, including the improbable bank account of Sex
and the City's Carrie Bradshaw (I never said the article was brand new). It seems, as a sex columnist in NYC,
Carrie probably would've earned $57,000. In Manhattan? That's poverty!Other characters and their real-life salaries:
Ed O'Neill on Being the 'Modern Family' Patriarch
TV 101: Goofus And Gallant, TV-Style
Vince Gilligan on 'Breaking Bad' Season Three
