"Lost" Cast To Get $80K Per Episode Each

The original principal cast members of ABC's hit show "Lost" are finally getting raises next season. Currently, they are each paid between $20-40K per episode, but next season, this will jump to $80K. Matthew Fox is said to have recently gotten a $250K bonus. While these figures may seem ridiculous to you, just think about how much ABC/Disney is raking in from the show. This is just their way of spreading the wealth (created and perpetuated, mind you, in large part by these actors).
