The above report didn’t include a number for Padalecki, but other online sources have suggested that he makes about $125,000 per episode.
While that still earns Padalecki nearly $3 million per year, it’s definitely a big drop from what Ackles reportedly makes.
This applies even more to lead actors, who usually make more than anyone else in their movie or on their show.
After nearly 13 seasons on the air, one presumes that Supernatural co-leads Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles must be making out pretty well financially, but are they?
