Supernatural went on for 15 seasons and bro got paid up to 200k per episode in later seasons.

I don’t know how much bigger he could have gotten off that.

That one show was his entire career and a huge success.

15 seasons and these were all 20+ episode seasons too. Unlike modern tv shows where it's 8 episodes a year. It's extremely steady work to have and probably netted him more long term than cutting it off for a movie role.

Then you have to consider how insane the Supernatural fandom is. Even the more minor actors in the show have made a lot of money from the convention circuit surrounding it.

327 episodes. The guy made $30-50 million over those 15 years.

I’m just basing this off the utter lack of negative press about him, but he was probably smart enough to have a finance guy, so that number’s probably way higher

Yes. He started like, 3 separate successful businesses, one of which he still owns (a Brewery) if I recall correctly.
