Winona Ryder will collect $9.5 million — a whopping jump from $2.8 million for Season 3 — for her role as Joyce Byers in Stranger Things Season 5.

A source previously said the Edward Scissorhands actress "came into the show as the highest paid cast member and then got a massive pay raise after [the show] became a global hit," reportedly earning $1.1 million per episode.

"She's not a greedy or tight-fisted person, so she thinks nothing of handing her parents a big fat check every month or making other family members, like her half-brother, Jubal, 52, part of her entourage," the insider added.

The source continued, "Winona is very careful about who she trusts, which is why she likes having family members around her and is so generous with her money. It's a win-win for everyone!"
