I agree. Jerry Seinfeld was making a fortune with his series before it ended.
He writes books, appears live in stand-up routines, has a continual income from repeats, promotes American Express.
Wikipedia says:
Seinfeld received US$267 million during 1998 according to Forbes magazine, making him the highest-earning celebrity that year.
Even though the sitcom ended in May 1998, Seinfeld still generates more revenue, through syndication, than most current shows.
It is believed that Jerry has earned more money for the portrayal of a single character than any other actor

What the hell? This isn't an opinion question. It's Seinfeld, he made the most money.
