The Richest Stranger Things Cast Member Might Surprise You

Sadie Sink was a latecomer to the "Stranger Things" party, debuting as Cali girl Maxine "Max" Mayfield in Season 2. Before she popped up in Hawkins, Sink was best known for her run on the NBC show "American Odyssey," in which she played the daughter of U.S. Army sergeant Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel). She also had one-off roles in "The Americans," "Blue Bloods" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," but she was propelled to all-new levels of fame when the second season of "Stranger Things" dropped.

"I think now with like the masks and everything it's harder to get recognized, but I remember struggling with that at the beginning, getting really anxious whenever people would ask for pictures," Sink told Elle in September 2021, just a few weeks before filming on the COVID-hit fourth season of "Stranger Things" recommenced. "Luckily, I've got an amazing cast that are going through the exact same thing that I am, so I've got a very strong support system." She's clearly close with her onscreen friends, but she doesn't earn anywhere near as much as they do, reports suggest.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Sink was paid around $23,000 per episode during her debut season, and that figure went up by just $1,000 an appearance for Season 3. She's since starred in the critically acclaimed "Fear Street" trilogy, however, and with two more feature films on the horizon as of this writing, she's estimated to have a net worth of around $1 million.
