We have the famous 00s TV house - the amount we were paid will surprise you.

The owner of the house used as Walter White's family home in the hit drama Breaking Bad has recently shared more details about her involvement with the show. Joanne Quintana, the real owner of the property located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, revealed that she and her family were simply paid a one-time fee for the use of their home as the iconic White residence. This is a common misconception among fans, who often assume that the homeowners made millions from the show's success.

In an interview with GeeEntertainment on TikTok, Joanna clarified the situation, stating that her family did not receive any residuals or ongoing compensation from the show's profits. They were only paid a location fee for the duration of filming and that was the extent of their involvement. However, the exact amount they were paid was not disclosed. According to Paul Kim, founder of Image Locations, a company that supplies homes for productions, the payment can range from $12,000 to $1 million per year.

Joanna also shared that her family did not need much convincing to rent their home to the show's production team. They were intrigued by the opportunity to see behind the scenes of Hollywood and to meet the actors. However, they have faced some challenges as well, particularly with overzealous fans recreating the iconic pizza scene from the show by throwing pizzas onto the roof of their home.

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had to address this issue and urge fans to stop damaging the property. He stated that it was not funny and had been done before. Another unexpected source of income from the show was the owner of Walter's infamous tighty-whities, which sold for a whopping $32,000. Actor Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, jokingly questioned the sanity of the person who would pay that much for a pair of underwear.

The show, which aired for five seasons between 2008 and 2013, followed the story of a high school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime after being diagnosed with cancer. It received widespread critical acclaim and numerous award nominations. In 2019, a sequel film titled El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie was released, with many of the original cast members reprising their roles. Breaking Bad continues to be available for streaming on Netflix.
