The characters and their phrases have become a major part of pop culture, but sadly, after 9 seasons the show came to an end in 2014. Quite like Friends, the core group of characters connected with mass audiences, and by combining well known celebrities with lesser known stars, the show also created a chemistry between characters which was one of the defining qualities of the series. Thanks to the success of the show, the stars were earning themselves a pretty hefty payday for each episode. Check out how much the cast of How I Met Your Mother are worth now!
