Megyn Kelly – $23 Million
Megyn Kelly shifted from the path of being a lawyer to a journalist and turned out to be excellent at the latter one. She proved this by bagging in high show ratings at ‘Fox News’ for thirteen years, where she was cashing in $8 million a year.
In 2017, Megyn was approached by ‘NBC’ with a three-year contract worth $69 million! She decided to, once again, switch paths and became the highest-paid host for ‘NBC,’ earning between $20 to $23 million annually until she had to let go of the job.
