Judge Judy is the 3rd highest person in television, earning something in excess of $30 million dollars a year. Someone is watching her.
It's remarkable to learn how much your favorite TV star earns in a single year. While movies may be the place where stars are born, television seems to be the new avenue for making boat loads of cash. Here is a list of the highest paid television stars.
1. Oprah Winfrey- The Oprah Winfrey Show: $260 million: This is amazing! Oprah truly is the most powerful women in the world and her bank account proves it!
2. Simon Cowell- American Idol: $45 million: The mastermind behind the most popular television show of all time deserves some mucho dinero.
3. Judge Judy- Judge Judy: $30 million: I can't believe people still watch her show! She's about one step up from Jerry Springer.
4. Katie Couric- CBS Evening News: $15 million: Her ratings so far have indicated that CBS probably could have spent that money elsewhere.
5. Matt Lauer- Today co-anchor: $12 million: Katie's former partner in crime continues to show the world how being bland and uninteresting can earn you major cash.
6. Bob Barker- The Price is Right: $10 million: The former legendary host raked in the big bucks each year. It's a shame he still can't host for another 10 years.
7. Meredith Vieira- Today co-anchor: $10 million: Moving from the disaster that is The View to the Today show proved to be the right move for Vieira, not to mention the added cash.
8. Maury Povich- The Maury Povich Show: $7 million: I can't believe you can earn $7 million a year just for giving the scum of the earth the results to their paternity tests.
9. Zach Braff- Scrubs: $6.3 million: Braff is slowly branching out into film, but his work on the popular show Scrubs is worth every red cent.
10. Ellen DeGeneres- The Ellen DeGeneres Show: $5 million: Ellen has proved to be one of most likable people on television and will probably be taking over Oprah's spot once she retires.
it pays well to be rude on TV sometimes.
