How Much Does Young And The Restless Star Eric Braeden Make Per Episode?

Eric Braeden's legendary run on "The Young and the Restless" has earned the actor an impressive net worth, totaling nearly $25 million, according to TV Shows Ace. He earns approximately $5,000 per episode, which is about $100 an hour, per The Focus,

The Daytime Emmy-winning actor pulls in more money than almost any other cast member of the four longest-running daytime dramas. Typically, actors in the soap opera genre make around $1,000 per episode.

And, at the age of 81, Braeden isn't slowing down — and he's shown no hint of plans to retire. The actor is still shooting the same amount he always has, with Victor being involved in several current stories, like Victoria Newman accidentally killing Rey Rosales and her crumbling marriage to Ashland Locke.
