Less of a show and more of a cultural phenomenon, "Baywatch" has been made and remade numerous times. But the OG cast, featuring leading man David Hasselhoff, can't be beaten. Pamela Anderson became the world's biggest sex symbol since Marilyn Monroe. Hasselhoff, however, takes home $4 million a year from royalties. Guess he didn't really need to make that Spongebob cameo after all.
