According to Jerry Seinfeld’s former boss Warren Littlefield, the comedian turned down a $100 million contract to film just one more season of “Seinfeld” for the sake of his non-existent family. The hit sitcom aired for nine seasons before it came to an end in 1998--and now we finally know the reason why.
