Ellen Pompeo | Grey’s Anatomy

It’s safe to say that almost everyone knows or has seen an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. If you must know, the show is a take on the classic medical textbook, Gray’s Anatomy, which was written by Henry Gray. However, the television drama shines the spotlight on Dr. Meredith Grey, a female doctor who’s working at a Seattle Hospital. The television drama has been so incredibly successful that it’s already in its 16th season!

Ellen Pompeo has been on the show since its first episode. In turn, it’s only right that Pompeo receive the best compensation that the show’s producers can offer. She reportedly earns a fat paycheck — $575K per episode — to play the credit role of “Dr. Meredith Grey.” As we said, the show is still airing today, and we expect Ellen Pompeo to continue to rake in more hefty paychecks in the future!
