Costner, who won two Academy Awards for 1990’s Dances With Wolves, stars in Yellowstone as patriarch John Dutton whose family has owned a ranch in Montana for six generations.
Each season of the drama has outperformed the last with the audience for season 4 four times the size of the one that tuned in for the first series.
And along with its success, Costner, whose season one starting salary was $500,000 an episode, managed to renegotiate his contract every step of the way to $1.2 million per episode for the fourth season, according to ScreenRant.
Now he’s getting an extra $100,000 per episode to return for more episodes of the drama.
