Revered US animated comedy The Simpsons have had no shortages of cameos throughout the years. 

Michael Jackson, Paul and Linda McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Lady Gaga, The Smashing Pumpkins, Flight Of The Conchords  and even Joe Namath ("I'm Joe Namath") have all lent their voices to the show and thanks to a bank statement of 50 Cent's going public, we now have a rough idea of how much the celebrities still make for those cameos. 

Having filed for bankruptcy in 2015, the rapper must now file his bank statements as part of his progress report, according to TMZ

His November statement shows that he still gets a residual check of $16.68USD from his cameo on the episode, Pranksta Rap.

It's honestly not that bad, given that the show aired in 2005.

And 50 Cent isn't the only one.

Seinfeld fans will recall now-retired US baseball star Keith Hernandez appearing in a two-part episode in 1992, as well as the series finale in 1998. 

Speaking to NY Post back in 2015, Hernandez revealed he still gets a decent pay packet for the role almost 20 years on, as he gets paid every time the episodes air. 

"So I’m going to say I get a check every month," Hernandez said.

"Nothing less than six weeks. They show it all the time. It's international and everything.

"It used to be almost $1000. It diminishes as the years go by. So it gives me around $3000 per year. I’ll take it. For doing nothing. So you can imagine what Jerry gets. The principal actors, what they get."

We can imagine. Keith. A. FUCKING. LOT.
