Ricky Gervais originally sold The office to NBC for $3.8 million. Until now, he has made over $100 million from selling the rights.
Ricky is a British comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director. He is best known for creating the popular British show The Office.
The office was adapted from the Uk based show of the same name and aired on NBC channel for eight years.
Even though he was no longer a part of the US-based show, he would still receive royalties from it. He has made over $100 million just from the royalties.
While talking in a 2013 GQ Interview, the British actor revealed that he has made more money from the American Office than any other show.
The actor used to earn $200 per episode when the show first aired. He has come a long way with the show as well as its right.
Similarly, he earned £1.2 million from the original UK-based office show over its two-year run, according to reports.
