The Stranger Things Kids Are Making A Lot More Money Than You

How several Eggos can you purchase with $300,000? I have no idea, however the young cast of Stranger Things is about to find out. Production on the third season of the Netflix phenomenon is about to commence in Atlanta, and Hawkins's finest freshman are reportedly going to be able to see a lot more cash in their bank accounts.


According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series regulars have all re-upped their contracts for future seasons, scoring major pay raises soon after a lengthy renegotiation period. Adult stars Winona Ryder and David Harbour are reportedly making $350,000 per episode, while the original party of Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp are mentioned to be making $250,000 an episode. That's roughly 12 times more than what they were making for the opening two seasons.


As for their Emmy-nominated costar Millie Bobby Brown — arguably the hugest breakout star of the whole series — her contract is still under wraps. As THR reported last year, Brown negotiated her contract separately from the rest of the young cast, which appears to hint at an even larger payday for the 14-year-old starlet, possibly around $300,000 an episode — or more.


Seeing as her image is being licensed around the globe to sell merchandise to eager fans, it's not surprising that Brown would want a larger segment of the pie. And it's not like Netflix doesn't have the money.


Meanwhile, the Hawkins "teens" — Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery (and his hair) — are reportedly making $150,000 per episode. According to the world wide web, that could be $365,040 in 1984. Just think all of the Fabergé Organics products Steve could purchase.
