In her People's Icon acceptance speech at the People's Choice Awards on Sunday, Jennifer Aniston credited "Friends" with her career success.
"If I have any claim to this word 'icon,' it's only because I was able to be on an iconic show, with an iconic cast, and an iconic haircut," she said.
Now, it appears that iconic show may be making a long-anticipated return of sorts. Deadline reported on Tuesday that a "Friends" reunion special is currently in the works at HBO Max, the network's upcoming streaming platform.
Aniston separately made headlines when she joined Instagram on October 15 with a "Friends" reunion selfie and set a Guinness World Record for reaching one million followers in under six hours. But unlike most would-be influencers, Aniston likely won't be needing to cash in on Instagram ads and other #SponCon anytime soon.
In August, Forbes listed Aniston as the fifth highest-paid actress of the year, estimating that she made $28 million before taxes between June 2018 and June 2019 - and the potential "Friends" reunion special is likely to boost that number even higher next year.
Here's a look at how much Aniston made as a cast member on "Friends," what we know about her income post-show, and how she spends some of her fortune.
