Norah O’Donnell - $6 Million

The television journalist is a popular face across the USA and needs no introduction. She is a graduate in philosophy from the Georgetown University and did her master's in liberal studies. She works as a correspondent for 60 Minutes on CBS and is the host of CBS Evening News.

Norah has also been associated with other shows such as Face the Nation and CBS This Morning. She has laid her hands on the prestigious Sigma Delta Chi Award for her news coverage on the show, Dateline NBC and has been listed among the 100 most powerful women in Washington Washingtonian Magazine.

Norah walked down the aisle with Geoff Tracy in 2001, and the couple has had a successful marriage to date. The mother of three receives $6 million as her take home every year. With an amount like that, she would never have to worry about bankruptcy, we guess.

Vanna White – $10 Million

Before first appearing as a co-host in Wheel of Fortune in 1982, Vanna White was a simple girl from South Carolina with big dreams. Her pursuit for a career in the spotlight started when the Miss Georgia USA 1978 contestant became a model, and in no time, she found herself as one of the contestants in The Price is Right in 1980.

While she was never called on stage, her career catapulted in the next couple of years, having appeared in a few movies like Graduation Day and Looker. 

In October 1982, White was chosen as one of the co-hosts for Wheel of Fortune, and two months later, she became a regular. White stuck through this gig to this day, and in November 2019, she got the chance to be the main host of the game show while Pat Sajak took a short break. According to reports, White rakes in a total of $10 million as her annual salary which is quite astounding! With this kind of money flowing to her bank account, she can certainly enjoy a comfortable life for the rest of her days.

Savannah Guthrie – $7 million

Savannah Guthrie, who was born in Melbourne, Australia and raised in Arizona, received her Bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Arizona in 1993.

Before she became a correspondent for NBC, Savannah was working as a broadcast journalist for several years, and she also earned a Juris Doctor degree. At present, she is the co-host of NBC’s morning show, Today, where she shares the anchor’s desk with the legendary Hoda Kotb.

Savannah’s annual salary has already reached the $7-million mark, and we believe the talented and charismatic TV presenter has a lot more to give back to the broadcast journalism industry. She tied the knot with Michael Feldman, a Democratic political consultant, in 2014, and they have two kids together.  

Joy Behar – Est. $2.5 Million

Next to Whoopi Goldberg is Joy Behar, who has a salary of 2.5 million per year. She has a very long tenure in the show, and in fact, she sat in for Whoopi during the time she was sick. We can say that in the entertainment world, Joy is the biggest name after Whoopi.

Joy started as a standup comedy actress and said public speaking is only her second nature. However, she got a huge break when she was cast in "The View." She now makes money from acting and hosting.

Joy even has movies and sitcoms before she settled with hosting. She has a net worth amounting to 12 million dollars. She also has a book publishing to her credit as an author. The title of her first book is Joy Shtick.

Amy Robach — $300,000

Amy Robach was the relief anchor on Good Morning America from 2012 until 2018, but she officially stepped away from the show to become the co-host of 20/20 with David Muir.

Before this, Amy was also an NBC News national correspondent who used to host The Today Show every Saturday. Amy’s GMA departure as a news anchor, however, left many of her fans dissatisfied as Robach was beloved for her take on consumer issues like insurance and special-interest stories.

Despite stepping away from a huge position and taking on the role of a breaking news anchor instead, Robach draws an annual salary of $300,000. As of 2019, her net worth is estimated to be in the ballpark of $1.5 million. Robach is married to Andrew Shue, a Melrose Place star, whom she met at a book party in April 2008.

Erin Burnett - $6 Million

After being a co-host of Squawk on the Street on CNBC and the presenter of Street Signs on CNBC Asia, Erin Burnett is having a wonderful time as the host of CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront.

She has the distinction of working on plenty of documentaries outside the U.S. Majority of those were shot in Libya, Nigeria, Congo, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Russia, and India.

Erin has been working incessantly since the year 2003. And she has all the energy to work round the clock for another three decades or so. She is in a successful marital relationship with David Rubulotta since the year 2012 and has three children. She adds $6 million to her banks every year.

Gayle King — $5.5 Million

Gayle King is in talks with CBS for a staggering $12-million annual salary. The 64-year-old’s interview with R&B and hip-hop singer, R. Kelly, raised her stock by a few notches in the CBS network.

At present, Gayle is drawing $5.5 million per annum by co-hosting CBS This Morning, a flagship program of the network, but it is expected that her yearly compensation would be in the range of $11 to 12 million by 2019.

Gayle, who is now the chief anchor for the CBS Network, also worked as a CBS special correspondent. Already inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, Gayle has interviewed some of the biggest personalities in showbiz and politics, including the likes of Michelle Obama, Cicely Tyson, and Taylor Swift.

Kelly Ripa — $22 million

Bubbly blondie Kelly Ripa landed the first big acting gig of her career in the 1990s when she was offered the role of troubled party girl Hayley Vaughan on the ABC show, All My Children.

Kelly was a part of the soap opera cast for twelve years, and this was her longest stint on any kind of TV show. The second biggest break in her career came when Regis Philbin chose Kelly as a replacement for Kathie Lee Gifford on Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee.

Since 2000, Kelly has been a regular on the morning talk show, and she has shared her anchor’s desk with the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Michael Strahan, and Regis Philbin. One of the most powerful women in the media, Kelly now rakes in $22 million per annum and has already made an investment in her own production company.

Laura Ingraham — $2 Million

Laura Ingraham, who started her career as a speechwriter for the Domestic Policy Advisor during the Reagan administration, got her law school degree in 1991. After briefly dabbling in the legal field, Laura started her showbiz career as a cable television host in 1996.

Since then, there was no looking back for Laura who is popular for the rhetorical style. It has made her pretty much a lightning rod for liberal critics.

In 2017, Laura even launched her talk show on Fox News, The Ingraham Angle. The Ingraham Angle is apparently the third highest cable news show on TV. In its specific niche, it’s the number one show. Laura has been the host of her eponymous radio show for close to two decades. And owing to the annual salary of $2 million that she takes home, she now has the liberty to choose a luxury lifestyle. Great going, lady!

Diane Sawyer — $9 million

As a news anchor for ABC News, Diane Sawyer has tackled a wide variety of issues with her impeccable reporting, long-form interviews as well as deep investigations. Although she has already stepped down from her anchor’s chair, Diane continues to create prime-time specials for the news network. She was also the co-host of Good Morning America, an immensely popular morning show of ABC.

Diane, who was part of former President Nixon’s transition team for a brief period, also spent nine years of her career with the CBS news network.

The 73-year-old is now an ABC News veteran, and she conducts mostly high-profile interviews for the network. While many of her contemporaries have announced their retirement and have chosen a laid-back lifestyle, Diane is still going, and reportedly, she still draws an annual salary of $9 million.  

Katie Couric - $15 Million

Katie Couric has done a fantastic job of increasing her net worth. It’s great to see an aspiring lady whose net worth was $55 million in 2013, has jumped into almost $100 million now. Couric has graced the studios of all Big Three television networks in the United States, and she did it in style.

The graceful lady journalist has published her book The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives in 2004. She instantly became a New York Times best-seller. For her life-long contribution to television, and found a place in the Television Hall of Fame.

So it’s easy to guess that the lady who got her multimedia news and production company previously worked for the likes of NBC, CBS, and ABC. And all the fortune from her massive success will keep her safe from bankruptcy. With a whopping $15 million salary annually, she has truly touched the height of success in her life.

Abby Huntsman — $3 Million

Having started her career when she was still in her teens, Abby Huntsman has come to know and familiarize herself with the nitty-gritty of the TV industry. No wonder she became a professional in just a few years. In 2018, her latest achievement was getting a spot as an anchor in The View!

She was actually doing well in Fox TV and drawing a salary of about $3 million. But going back to ABC — the network from where she had started — must have been an emotional journey for her. It was, however, the desire to do more and not be limited in the present condition that drove her to change jobs.

We are glad she made the right career investments to have reached this place in her life now. She was also at one point the co-host for The View, and The Cycle and has even featured in Outnumbered.

Katy Tur — $1.3 million

Katy Tur was born to journalist parents, so we guess she knew the ABCs of journalism at a young age. After attending Brentwood School and the University of California, Tur, who worked as a storm chaser for TWC before joining NBC News in 2009, won Associated Press Best Spot News Award for covering a Manhattan construction accident.

Tur was selected by NBC as the embedded reporter for 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald Trump. She is also a self-made author who penned down her experience as an embedded reporter for NBC during Trump’s presidential campaign in her book, Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History. 

Tur, who now receives an annual salary of $1.3 million, has been blissfully married to BCS correspondent Tony Dokoupil since 2017. The couple has a lovely kid together, Theodore. 

Brianna Keilar – $64,600

Senior CNN journalist Brianna Keilar lives quite a luxurious lifestyle that she can easily afford due to her handsome salary and massive wealth from her massively successful career b. While her net worth is as impressive as $8 million, her annual salary is around $64,600. Thanks to her impressive work in the CNN network.

Keilar's rise in CNN was meteoric. Being a senior political commentator for the network, she has carved a special place for herself. She also served as the network's White House correspondent and steadily worked her way into the limelight. Her reputation for covering a wide range of stories has been one of his major achievements for sure.

She has been married to the National Security Council director, Fernando Lujan, for four years now. She was one of the correspondents for CNN who covered the infamous Virginia Tech Massacre that shook the country in 2007.

Kate Bolduan - $200,000

Some people are fortunate to do what they love and get a handsome reward in exchange. Kate Bolduan is in the league of those fortunate people. She has carved out a niche for herself as a top-rated CNN broadcast journalist who can deliver her best when it's necessary.

With a list of important shows such as the State of America with Kate Bolduan, The Situation Room, At This Hour with Kate Bolduan Bolduan, she has already proved her worth as a prolific television personality. She is equally successful in her personal life, being married to David Gershenson for ten years now.

She's also the mother of two cuties, and we bet she is already thinking about their future. A celebrity figure like Bolduan, whose annual income is close to $20k, surely doesn't want her kids to struggle with student loans.

Stephanie Ruhle – $2 Million

The host of the famous talk-show Velshi & Ruhle makes around $2 million annually. This is just his salary, excluding the other source of income. But surely this is a huge sum of money. This only proves that being a news anchor, she is excellent in his job.

Stephanie holds an impressive portfolio, with an esteemed educational and employment background. Following her graduation from Lehigh University in international business, she began working at Bloomberg, first as a news presenter, then earned a promotion to become a managing director of the television network. She's serving as one of the current business correspondents at NBC Network.

She also hosts the news show MSNBC Live for some time now. But what about her personal life? The celebrated TV personality tied the knot with Andy Hubbart. She gave birth to three children and lives in Manhattan with her little family. A picture-perfect happy family indeed!

Martha MacCallum — $700,000

Martha MacCallum is a charismatic Fox News anchor. She now lives in New Jersey with her husband, Dan Gregory, and their three kids. The duo hauls in a lot of money to make investments in their kids’ future.

With Dan being the Vice President of Roseland, NJ based packaging company Gregory Packaging, Inc. Martha is currently earning in the upwards of $700,000 annually, the family is certainly on easy street.

Martha, who is immensely popular for hosting the show The Story With Martha MacCallum, has already interviewed some of the biggest political leaders and bureaucrats such as Ambassador Nikki Haley. She has already won numerous awards. We believe that her annual salary and earnings will grow substantially in the days to come. We doubt that MacCallum ever thought that she would be as successful as she has turned out to be back when she landed her first job with Corporate Finance magazine.

Megyn Kelly — $22 million

Megyn Kelly wanted to become a prosecutor for the district attorney’s office and started working as a lawyer for Brewer Attorneys & Counselors – a firm that employs legal professionals with relevant experience in finance, investigations, as well as crisis management.

It was in 2004 when Kelly switched to journalism and started working as a D.C. correspondent for Fox News. She was associated with Fox as a news anchor till 2017.

NBC launched their daytime show Megyn Kelly Today in 2017, replacing Today’s Take, but the show was discontinued as Kelly received a lot of backlashes. Her contract with NBC was terminated in early 2019, and although Kelly has assured that she will be back on TV soon, she has not divulged the details of her proposed comeback. Reportedly, she was earning $22 million annually with NBC before the termination.

Nancy O’Dell — $2 million

Nancy O’Dell won the Miss South Carolina beauty pageant in 1987 and went on to represent the state at the 61^st Miss America Pageant three years later. Although she is 53 now, the former beauty contest winner still looks half her age, and we guess she spends a big part of her earnings in beauty treatments and products.

After dabbling in modeling, O’Dell kickstarted her career as a TV anchor with WPDE-TV in the 1990s. Her incredibly appealing looks helped her work her way up to the top, and she soon landed a big contract with NBC Studios.

Access Hollywood, an entertainment show that she started to host, was launched in 1996, and her departure from the show was officially announced in 2009. O’Dell has co-hosted many beauty pageants, and she currently earns $2 million per year.

Scott Pelley — $5 million

Scott Pelley is one of the most charismatic news anchors in the history of CBS. He has been associated with the network for three decades and has won multiple awards during his time. Although he got many exciting offers, he decided to stay loyal to the network and has reached the pinnacle of his career with multiple feathers in his cap.

Scott is currently a correspondent for 60 Minutes, a CBS news magazine and TV program. His career in broadcast journalism spans more than four decades, and during this time, Scott has got the opportunity to report live from many war zones, including the Invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.

Muir is undoubtedly one of the hottest newsmen alive, and he has capitalized on his good looks and his speaking skills to carve a niche for himself in the fiercely competitive broadcast journalism industry. As of now, David is earning an annual salary of $5 million, and he has got an estimated $7.5 million in his banks.

With an annual salary of $2 million, Andrews has been able to garner a net worth of $20 million so far. She is mostly famous for her long and successful career at ESPN, especially as the NFL commentator.

Though she had covered other sports like baseball, hockey, and basketball, among others, it was while covering NFL games that she started gaining the attention of many. These days, she hosts the high-profile reality dance show, Dancing With The Stars.

Lara Spencer — $3 Million

Lara Spencer, a New York native, is still associated with ABC News as the co-anchor for their syndicated morning show, Good Morning America. Although Lara announced in 2018 that she would be focusing on her career as a TV producer, she still appears on GMA.

Lara, who was selected as the lifestyle anchor for GMA in 2011, was the national correspondent for the same show for five years before starting her second stint. Lara’s infectious curiosity and great writing skills helped her secure a full-time position with NBC’s biggest morning show.

Spencer, whose annual take-home pay stands at $3 million, has already interviewed some of the biggest Hollywood stars, including Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise. We believe the multi-talented woman has got her insurance plans sorted, considering the kind of money she receives for her work.

Robin Roberts — $18 Million

Robin Roberts is almost synonymous with the show, Good Morning America. The ace presenter and TV personality is been a big name in the media for more than 3 decades now. Her stellar career gives her a salary of approximately $18 million which is huge and impressive! She had initially joined ESPN as a sportscaster though.

Over the years, she has been hosting various live as well as recorded shows, and her earnings kept getting higher. With the kind of skills that she has, Roberts has won numerous awards and has a massive fan following. Her latest achievement was co-anchoring the royal wedding of Prince Harry and American TV star Meghan Markle in 2018.

With an annual salary of $1 million, Charissa Thompson definitely tops the list of affluent TV hosts and commentators. She has worked for a myriad of channels including ESPN, Versus, GSN, Big Ten Network, and a few others.

She used to host Fox Sports Live on Fox Sports, and she became a big name when she became the co-host of ESPN's SportsNation. Charissa is also popular for working on Best Damn Sports Show Period, and in Numbers Never Lie on ESPN.

However, she left the post to become a host for Fox TV. Though she rose to fame as a sports commentator, she has also hosted other shows and has found success there, too. We are sure that with the kind of salary she gets, it is easy for her to maintain a good lifestyle. In 2020, she announced she is engaged to marry sports agent Kyle Thousand, who is a managing director of baseball at Roc Nation Sports.

Jane Pauley — $1.2 Million

Jane Pauley, a morning TV icon who has earned respect from fans and peers alike for her amazing skills and charisma, has been the face of CBS Sunday Morning since 2014.

However, many would still remember a younger Jane co-hosting NBC’s talk show, Today. Pauley, who admittedly suffered from bipolar disorder, loves to describe her career trajectory as one filled with surprising opportunities.

Jane, who has also co-hosted Dateline NBC for twelve years, was the first-ever woman anchor to host any kind of evening news program. After she left Today, the show’s viewership dropped drastically. Jane currently draws an annual salary of $1.2 million, and she has made investments toward education reform with the money she has amassed.

Rachel Maddow — $7 million

Rachel later went on to make a career in journalism and has won numerous Gracie and Emmy awards to date. Maddow’s brand of derisive and methodical deconstruction of controversial topics has made her show a favorite of many liberal Americans.

Maddow aims to increase the total amount of useful information through her show and that has paid off very well. She is currently getting an annual salary of $7 million, and we believe she would never need to refinance her home loans with so much money in her bank accounts.

Chelsea Handler – $10 million

Earning a yearly salary of $10 million is no mean feat. But Chelsea Handler has proved her mettle as a stand-up comedian to deserve that salary. Chelsea was thrown into the limelight with her eponymous show, The Chelsea Handler Show, on E! and gradually became one of the most recognized faces in American television.

Handler, who is famous for her earthy and bawdy style of comedy, was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. Her documentary series, Chelsea Does, was released on Netflix in 2016. Chelsea then decided to wrap up the documentary work in favor of activism.

She has got an approximate $40 million in her banks which is super-impressive! In 2010, Chelsea purchased a home for $6 million tucked away in the Bel-Air Country Club in LA. Chelsea is also an accomplished author, whose six books have made it to the NY Times Best Seller list. Wow!

She eventually became a production assistant for WKEF/WRGT and gradually became a fill-in anchor and reporter. The biggest break in her career came in 2014 when ABC News promoted her to co-anchor ABC’s most-watched morning show, Good Morning America.

Faris, who is a devout Christian, also has her faith podcast named Journeys of Faith. Although she has already left the weekend morning show, Faris has assumed a new role inside ABC News, and we believe she is doing well in terms of managing her finance. As of now, her annual salary stands at $565K.

Maria is one of the notable analysts on the channel.  Her job as a sports analyst is one impressive achievement that made a great impact.

Susan Page - $250,000

Since 1997, Page has been the Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today. She is one of the most prudent and sharp-minded journalists of all time. And Susan has ensured she displays the perfect balance of strength and softness while pursuing her career.

At 69, retirement looks no way closer. The way she decks herself up and maintains a slender frame. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that she can give most others in the industry a run for their money, simply by the looks!

Her husband, Carl Leubsdorf, was also working as the former Bureau Chief of The Dallas Morning News. And together, this couple made they gave their best to both their professional and personal life.

A woman of several talents, she had also written books for children and is popular for penning down Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg: Life and Other Calamities. Even if her money flow from various side projects is not taken into account, Kathie makes something around $2 million as her salary is every year.

Michelle Fields — $186,000

Growing up in Los Angeles, Michelle Fields probably harbored a dream of being in front of the camera all her life. But for some Hollywood production. Fields had a greater passion to pursue a career in the media and that she did.

After completing her college education at Pepperdine University, Fields put on the shoes of a reporter for The Daily Caller. She was even on the news for having opposing views on teacher tenure reform against The Martian actor Matt Damon.

She also caught the attention of The Huffington Post, and in 2016, she became one of their reporters. It has been reported that she has an annual salary of $186,000 which isn’t too bad at all! Her being so young and talented, she can certainly add more zeros to that amount in the near future!

Justice with Jeanine Pirro gave her all the recognition she deserved. The former judge and television personality entered  American households with the show and entered into a league of her own. Prior to serving as a judge, Pirro used to work as a district attorney and caught our imagination for her fight against domestic abuses, especially where elderly people are involved.

We really salute her for that. In the later stages of life, she garnered fantastic reviews as an author. Slowly and steadily, she has been able to amass quite a hefty sum of money for herself. Her career has yielded her something in the ballpark of $12 million.

Before she found fame and fortune through her renowned show in Fox News Channel, Pirro actually worked for NBC News as one of its contributors.
