$1500 in 1965 amounts to $15,127.19 today, according to my search.

Pretty good money for basically dressing up and looking nice.

X 98 thats almost 1.5M... not bad considering a journeyman in the trades was making about $7-8 an hour...

So about a half million per season. Not chump change, but probably B list acting money now days. And of course 33 episodes seasons are LOOOONNNGGG gone. 22 - 24 episodes for a series is it these days. Canada and the UK produced shows are more like 10 -14 episodes per season / series.

#9 Gilligan’s Island had 98 episodes x the amount below and she made about $1.5 million equivalent.

$1,500 x 98 = $147,000
