Juan Williams — $500K

After graduating from Haverford College, Juan Williams became a writer for The Washington Post—a title he bore for 23 years. Later on in life, he entered the workforce of National Public Radio, where he hosted the daily program Talk of the Nation.

However, things took a turn after a decade of working there as he lost his job after making some opinionated remarks. Luckily, the Fox News Channel was there to the rescue. Williams has worked there as a contributor since 1997, but he only got a three-year contract worth $2 million after losing his NPR job. At 66, he is said to be earning $500K per annum.
