But that's not all, folks! When you calculate his salary over the course of a season, which typically has around 24 episodes, Eric Dane was making a cool $8.4 million per year. Not too shabby for a few months of work, if you ask me! And let's not forget about all the endorsement deals and merchandising opportunities that come with being a part of a hit show.
