Mila Kunis been one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood since since landing her big break on That ‘70s Show in 1998, but over the years, Mila Kunis has increased her streams of income through several outlets, including her longterm position playing Meg Griffin on Family Guy.
Mila Kunis joined the famous series in 2000 after replacing Lacey Chabert, who had voiced the character throughout its first series, and while her wages weren’t anything out of the usual when she started the job, in 2013, the actress won a lucrative deal that would see her make up to $225,000 per episode.
Family Guy continues to produce plenty of money for Fox through advertisements, apparently charging up to $250,000 for a 30-second commercial, so it’s logical why Mila Kunis, who reportedly started on $15,000 an episode, would have her contract renegotiated.
Today, the mother-of-two is worth $66 million and a significant piece of that was accumulated from her earnings on FG, but how just much has she been made from the animated sitcom since 2000?

How Much Does Mila Kunis Make On Family Guy?
When the A-list actress first joined Family Guy, she wasn’t making the enormous money that she receives from the programme today.
Her salary per episode was thought to have been roughly $15,000 per episode, which is understandable considering how networks will normally renegotiate a deal at the end of a series based on ratings within its target demographic.
Well, Family Guy proved to be a ratings hits right from the start, and while it was never disclosed how much Mila Kunis was making after receiving a salary increase, it was in November 2013 when The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the actress, along with Alex Borstein, Seth Green, and Mike Henry, had scored big raises.
Though the publication didn’t indicate what their earnings were before signing off on their new contracts, all four main cast members were making between $175,000 and $225,000 as the show reached its 12th season in 2014.
“According to several sources, the four-member voice cast was able to secure between $175,000 and $225,000 each each episode for at least two more seasons – and as many as five seasons of the series,” THR revealed at the time.
“Show creator Seth MacFarlane, who voices many roles including main character Peter Griffin, son Stewie and martini-swilling dog Brian, will negotiate separately because his deal with 20th TV has various other components.”
Last Words
The main reason why Mila Kunis and her co-stars were able to secure a hefty salary increase was simply down to the fact that the show was performing extremely well with its younger-skewing male audience, repeated episodes earned upwards of 2.5 million viewers, and commercials were still selling for $250,000 for a 30-second spot.
