&#8216;Friends&#8217; Star Jennifer Aniston Once Revealed Her “first big splurge” After Joining the Show

Who can ever forget the sitcom that gave the world Jennifer Aniston? Over the
years, the stunning actress has proved that she was the perfect choice for the
role of Rachel Green on Friends. Ever since the show ended, Aniston has given
fans tidbits of her time on the show. Although it has been almost two decades
since the NBC show had wrapped up, it was only a few months back that she ended
up telling fans what she did with her first paycheck.

While Aniston has proved that she is far from her spoilt character on the show,
seemingly they seem to have had some common traits.


JENNIFER ANISTON REGRETS HER “FIRST BIG SPLURGE” AFTER JOINING FRIENDS

Back in April this year, Jennifer Aniston sat down with Pop Sugar
[https://www.tiktok.com/@popsugar/video/7216857557510524202] to promote her film
Murder Mystery 2 with Adam Sandler. During her interview, she surprisingly ended
up revealing what she had done with her first payment after joining the Friends
cast. Although she seemed to now think of her “first big splurge” as a
“25-year-old mistake,” the actress had spent it on a 280 SL Mercedes.

Aniston explained that it was a “little white” convertible that she loved. She
even kept it for a long time, but she could hardly drive it. Instead, the star
only ended up taking it out for a spin only twice after she bought it. When her
co-star questioned her as to why she did not drive it, the 54-year-old said, “It
was a lemon, and that’s why it had been sitting there.”

While it may not make sense to most, her reasoning might have more to do with
the fact that the cast members did not make a lot during the first season of the
show. However, later seasons had their problems.


THE FRIENDS CAST’S SALARY THROUGH SEASONS

Back when Friends began back in 1994, the cast of the show was not making a lot
of money. With the future of the sitcom uncertain, Jennifer Aniston, David
Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, and the rest of the cast made only $22,500 for each
episode they shot. However, while they all saw a hike in the next season, two of
the members were making more than the rest. It was the Ross and Rachel co-stars.

Once they found out about the difference in pay, the cast ended up banding
together and demanding equal pay

It finally worked out for them and by the end of the series, the cast was making
$1 million per episode. Although the pay gap might have caused issues, the group
sticking together gave them the upper hand over the studio.
