While the fictional Al Bundy struggled to make ends meet as a shoe salesman, the actors playing the Bundy family were earning six-figure salaries by the end of the series.
Here’s the lowdown on what the cast made and the property they bought, sold, and still call home.

Unlike O’Neil, Faustino revealed to NBC Washington he doesn’t receive any residuals for Married with Children.
“We got really screwed over. I mean, the show ‘Married With … Children’ was on for 11 years, and we all made really good money while we were doing it,” he told the outlet.
“We made great weekly pay checks, but residuals — we all got screwed over because Fox at the time was not a network, it was a cable network, and so it was under a cable contract.
“So the show ‘Married With … Children’ has made over a billion dollars, and we didn’t really get a piece of that.
“So that’s sort of the backbone of this story. That part is true.”
