Gayle King — $5.5 Million

Gayle King is best friends with Oprah Winfrey and has interviewed some of the biggest names in the world, including Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift. She has done work for Winfrey, including correspondence on the Oprah Winfrey Show and working as the Editor at Large for O Magazine.

But King has her career highlights: She has hosted various talks shows, included her own called the Gayle King Show, which she also did via online radio for a short while. She also anchored CBS This Morning since 2011 and famously held her composure during an interview with R. Kelly, where the singer and rape accused became irate during an interview.
