I think this varies enormously and has much to do with the star's power before, during, and after their show. It also depends on whether or not the show was thought to be potential hit or when it was a hit. It also depends on what is in the star's regular contract. Some stars will have syndication covered, whether a lump sum for certain agreements, or a per-episode royalty; and some will have a line item indicating the same royalty as a pre-syndication re-run, should syndication occur. There are many, many permutations. I would guess most stars want a per-episode royalty because this will pay them the most. I would think it's very difficult to obtain, though, unless the star has a lot of power. For example, I'm pretty sure the stars of the Friends cast have per-episode royalties, or a deal even more lucrative than that. Occasionally a star will obtain a lump sum for syndication even when the show is a real clinker. That's star power for you. Many stars have also been cheated out of their royalties. For example, stars of the original black-and-white Superman series were granted syndication royalties in their contracts, but sleazy entertainment business executives found a way to cheat them out of it when the show was sold. Big stars can make millions of dollars from syndication. Some shows are aired a dozen times a day or more in different markets all over the world for many years, even decades.

To watch 90210 online, you could try Netflix. It is 8 dollars a month but you can watch as much as you want on it for only 8 dollars. They have the whole series of 90210 on it and a whole bunch of other shows including Pretty Little Liars, Roswell, Beverly Hills 90210, and a bunch more.
Why movie stars make so much money?
If a film is going to make 450 million dollars at the box office, the actors are going to expect to be well paid as part of that. Actors in small films don't make near as much. Also keep in mind a lot of actors work sparingly. It might be awhile before they find more work.
