“I think [Tori] should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid.” - Jennie Garth, about the salaries she, Tori Spelling, and Shannen Doherty were reported to be earning for CW’s 90210 spin-off
Jennie has correctly used a singular verb with the singular indefinite pronoun “either.” A common error is to make a verb agree with a plural object of a preposition (the object of the preposition “of” in Jennie’s statement is the plural personal pronoun “us”). Jennie’s use of the singular helping verb “is” in the verb phrase “is getting paid” is correct. Nicely done, Jennie!
