David Harbour (Chief Hopper) and Winona Ryder (Joyce) didn’t start as rich, but they got huge bumps too. Harbour reportedly made $150,000 per episode by season three, while Ryder took home around $100,000. Not as mind-blowing as the kids, but still enough to buy a whole fleet of Eggo trucks. Harbour’s pay went up even more in season four, thanks to his character’s emotional return. Ever notice how a good resurrection can boost your bank account?

What About the Supporting Cast?
Actors like Sadie Sink (Max) and Joe Keery (Steve) started as sidekicks but became fan favorites. By season four, Sadie Sink reportedly earned around $80,000 to $100,000 per episode. Joe Keery? Similar range. Not bad for playing a former jock turned babysitter. It’s like getting a promotion at work because everyone loves your memes.
The point is, the pay scales with screen time and popularity. The more you make fans cry (looking at you, Max’s running scene), the more zeros land in your bank account.
