Gus Fring initially offered Walter White $3 million for three months of work (with Gale Boetticher), which Walt negotiated down to $1.5 million per three months when he insisted Jesse Pinkman join and split the pay, making it $1.5 million per person for that period, or about $500,000 a month for Walt. Walt later turned down an offer of $15 million annually for continued work, preferring his own operation.
Gus wants to offer Walter 3 million dollars to keep making his blue meth for 3 more months, but even that amount isn't worth it to Walt. Walter is trying to piece his life back together and believes that continuing to produce his blue meth isn't worth the amount he's giving up.
Jack instructs his gang to dig up the $80 million. He leaves Walt one barrel with about $11 million and takes the rest for himself.
The reason he kept paying Walt was simple, even on bad terms it's still an exchange of services. If Gus decides to stop paying him, Walter can just not show up to work anymore, and then what?
Bryan Cranston (Walter White) reportedly made around $225,000 per episode in the final seasons, reflecting his iconic role and the show's massive success. Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman) earned approximately $150,000 per episode after renegotiations, while Anna Gunn (Skyler White) earned about $75,000–$100,000 per episode.
Several iconic TV stars earned $1 million or more per episode, most famously the casts of Friends (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer) and The Big Bang Theory (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco), who negotiated equal $1 million salaries for later seasons. Other actors like Reese Witherspoon & Nicole Kidman (for Big Little Lies Season 2) and Sarah Jessica Parker & co-stars (for And Just Like That...) also reached or exceeded this figure, alongside Jerry Seinfeld, Peter Dinklage, and Norman Reedus.
After a few months, Walter has earned more than $80 million from meth, and Skyler convinces him to stop. Walter leaves the meth business, and the children return home.
The most hated Breaking Bad characters were those whose villainy surpassed Walter White's, while others were seen as distracting from the main story. Characters like Declan and Don Eladio earned the ire of viewers due to their arrogance and slimy behavior. Some fans couldn't get behind Walter White Jr.
Victor is like family. Yet Victor saw Oz at his weakest, at his most vulnerable. Oz really feels like he needs a level of power. He can't have weakness, so he kills Victor.”
Due to having a heart disease, Hector is often seen taking pills which help him to stabilize his health and heart rate, and this would eventually cause him to suffer a stroke and put him in a wheelchair.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans debate between Jane Margolis, Gale Boetticher, Andrea Cantillo, Hank Schrader, and Nacho Varga (from Better Call Saul), often citing the innocence lost, the brutality, or the impact on Jesse Pinkman, but Gale's death stands out for his pure nature, while Jane's and Andrea's are heartbreaking due to their connection to Jesse and their potential unrealized.
It is revealed that Skyler is eventually forced to move into an apartment and takes a job as a taxi dispatcher, having all their assets seized. She still maintains custody of the children, however ("Granite State").
But in his attempt to carve out a unique world filled with drama, action, lies, and drugs, Gilligan also produced some truly unlikable characters. Atop the list of Breaking Bad's real villains was Walter White's wife Skyler, who had a lot to own up to after breaking her own ethical code.
The most prominent LGBT character in Breaking Bad is Gus Fring, confirmed by creators to be gay, with his deep, romantic relationship with his deceased partner Max Arciniega being central to his backstory and motivation, revealed through flashbacks and creator statements. While Gus showed subtle interest in a male sommelier, the show often coded his sexuality through his profound grief and loyalty to Max, a theme explored further in the prequel Better Call Saul.
In "Hermanos", Don Eladio Vuente says that when he ordered Max killed, he spared Gus because of his unstated but apparently powerful connection to Chile.
Fring worth anywhere from $1-2 billion usd. For some perspective, that would mean if Fring existed in real life, he would probably have a drug empire as big as Joaquin Guzman, leader of the Sinaloa cartel and the most-wanted criminal in the WORLD.
Season 5. Walt mentions to Jesse that the reason Gus might have killed Victor is because of Victor taking liberties that weren't his, (cooking meth while Walt and Jesse were held hostage by Mike) and "flew too close to the sun" as Walt put it ("Hazard Pay").
He did love Vic—but in his mind, love is a weakness. And he just saw first hand with his mother how a weakness can be exploited. So he decided to rip the band-aid off, and take Vic out himself.
Jacob discovers Victor's dead body in a bedroom in the house; the children keep it so that Enoch can occasionally revive him.
