When “Happy Days” was at the top of its success and relying heavily upon Henry Winkle’s role as The Fonz, he made a very smart move. He accepted a modest weekly salary in exchange for a hefty percentage of the show’s syndication profits. That decision made him a multimillionaire with a net worth estimated at $35 million.
