Savannah Guthrie – $7 million

Now a qualified lawyer, Savannah Guthrie, initially pursued a career in media, cutting her teeth at various regional broadcasters in Washington, Missouri, and Arizona. Her reputation saw her covering big stories like the 9/11 attacks, but she decided to complete her higher education.

Although Guthrie worked in the legal world for a few years, she got back into the media industry as a legal analyst for NBC. She moved on to become the network’s White House Correspondent and eventually became the co-anchor for the MSNBC political talk show The Daily Rundown. From there, Guthrie made her way to Today show, which she now co-hosts with Hoda Kotb.
