I'm Anushka Bhattacharya, an entertainment journalist at Netflix Junkie. Armed with a degree in literature, I once wielded my words to catalyze change within society through my work with NGOs. However, as I stumbled into the exuberant hole of crime thrillers and documentaries on Netflix, it was love at first sight and pushed me into entertainment journalism. With a dash of wit and a keen eye for detail, my mission is to deliver the most discerning news related to Hollywood celebrities.

A staple for an entire generation that followed, the NBC sitcom Friends, had a runway beyond the ordinary. Boasting a star-studded cast, Friends also paved the way for lucrative paychecks that ensued. An estimated shower of $1M per episode was enlisted to the core members of the cast, including Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, Matt Le Blanc, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow.
The money was life-changing, to say the least. However, Matthew Perry was caught in a flux of conflicting emotions as was revealed by the late actor once.
<h2>Matthew Perry suffered from dilemma about his multi-million dollar Friends paycheck</h2>
Back when Friends was journeying its way to the finale, Matthew Perry had opened up about his feelings about his paycheck. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (<a href="https://people.com/matthew-perry-felt-guilty-cashing-multi-million-dollar-friends-paycheck-8405181?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=655fc7aab51a5b0001a42da0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">via PEOPLE</a>), he confessed to feeling a “little guilty” while negotiating the amount. Throughout each season, there was a notable increase in the initial amount, starting from $75,000 and reaching up to $1M by the conclusion of the series.

On addressing the pact negotiations, Perry had revealed his ambiguity since he was there “doing something I love”. He also emphasized that the most significant responsibility was ensuring “you have to go home and go to sleep.” rather than indulging in the &#8220;37th drink&#8221; simply because one can afford it. Perry also affirmed that he would quit all his money and fame if required to avoid phasing into addiction.
