How Much Money Does Jim Parsons Make Narrating Young Sheldon?
When Jim Parsons walked out of The Big Bang Theory, he was making more than a million dollars per episode and was offered a fifty million dollars contract for a thirteenth season.
The sitcom alone is estimated to have earned the actor more than $160 million in salary, not to mention the income from owning one percent of the show.
However, Parsons agreed to continue his voice work on Young Sheldon, which he had been doing for some time at the time. This raises the question of his interest in the TBBT spin-off, and especially how much money he makes from his voiceover work.
In the case of Jim Parsons' income from Young Sheldon, it is hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, since he is not only a voice actor, but also an executive producer of the show. It is estimated that Jim Parsons made $1.5 million more than his co-stars during the last two seasons of The Big Bang Theory.
Since the main cast's contracts were based on parity, the discrepancy may be due to Parsons' involvement in Young Sheldon, which overlapped with the original series for two years.
How much of that money came from narrating and how much from producing is hard to say. Some estimates of unknown nature say that the actor received about a million as the show's producer and about $100,000 as its narrator.
All in all, there is no information about Jim Parsons' further income from Young Sheldon. It can be assumed, however, that it must have increased as the prequel has become more and more popular and now runs for a total of six seasons.
According to OK Magazine, Parsons was offered a big cut in Young Sheldon's profits. The cut was so big that it allegedly made Hollywood "green with envy". So money must be flowing straight into the actor's pocket. And as Variety reports the show's renewal until at least 2024, the flow is yet to cease.
Unfortunately, it's still not possible to estimate Jim Parsons' salary as a voice actor separately from his income as Young Sheldon's producer, neither of which is disclosed. But the actor continues to narrate the show and will likely continue to do so in the future - such is his interest in the spinoff.
