Here's how much money Ugly Betty makes a year

Ugly BettyI'm talking about Betty Suarez, not the actress (America Ferrera) who plays her on the hit ABC show. Every year one of the financial sites figures out how much money various TV characters make a year. Last year we discovered that Homer Simpson makes $67,422 at the power plant. This year's list comes from CareerBuilder.com.

I'm not surprised to find out that Boston Legal's Denny Crane makes $210,000, but I was rather shocked that Cold Case's Lilly Rush only makes $44,000 a year. She solves cold cases, for pete's sake! Hopefully the benefits are good.

The list also has the salaries for Arthur Branch on Law and Order, Jim on According To Jim, Pam on The Office, and many others.

Update: Betty Suarez makes $37, 810 a year. Now you don't even have to click on the link and all the world is at peace again.

Homer Simpson makes $67,422 a year

Homer SimpsonDoh! That's more than Horatio Caine makes!

Well, according to the AOL Salary Center. They have a list of the salaries of TV characters, calculated by the folks over at Salary.com, and that's Homer's salary. I've always wondered how someone like him can afford all the stuff he buys and his house.

Other salaries: Dr. Gregory House makes $191,011 a year, Michael Scott over at Dunder-Mifflin makes $89, 729 a year, and Executive Assitant Betty Suarez over at Mode magazine makes $49, 790. But the richest person on the list, at least this least (I'm sure Montgomery Burns would beat him) is Dr.Derek Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy. He makes over $386,000 a year. He's McRich!

I don't understand how the "stay-at-home mom" on Medium makes $134,000 a year. I assume that's from her medium-ness and not the stay-at-home-ness?
