Everything Changed For Jennifer Aniston After Being Cast In Friends

Aside from being paid lots of money for Friends, Aniston also managed to secure a lot of endorsement deals. These involved brands such as Glaceau Smartwater, Aveeno, and Emirates. It is believed that endorsements alone result in a $10 million payout for Aniston annually, according to Fox Business.
