The Maytag Man – $1 Million
Do you remember Colin Ferguson from his performance as Sheriff Carter in Eureka? Maybe you also recognize him from a TV show called Then Came You. Aside from these roles, the Canadian actor also landed in a number of big projects such as Vampire Diaries. Most people, however, will know him simply as The Maytag Man. In 2014, he had been bringing home $1 million a year as the face of the commercial. Let us not forget that Ferguson had been doing these commercials as he took on other roles in other projects. He might have made a name for himself, but he prefers to keep his personal affairs private. He has appeared in a number of Lifetime Christmas movies such as a Hallmark original movie starring Lori Loughlin called Every Christmas Has a Story.
The Wendy’s Girl – $3 Million
If Morgan Smith-Goodwin looks familiar, it is because she is the freckled girl that we know from Wendy’s commercial. She grew up in Alabama and went to Birmingham Southern College. She moved to New York to start her acting career after her graduation. She worked on all sorts of concerts and benefits until she finally snagged a big role on the stage. The actress landed a role in an Off-Broadway show called Freckleface Strawberry, which made her a member of its original cast. After this, she went on to land more lead roles in Broadway shows. This gorgeous redhead is a blonde bombshell in real life. She only dyes it red when she does the ads. With a $3 million paycheck, we would even turn it green!
