David Muir — $5 million

Currently, the presenter of ABC World News Tonight and co-host of the ABC magazine show 20/20, David Muir’s reporting skills once made him the most seen journalist on American TV between 2012 and 2013. He cut his teeth in the industry as a weekend anchor and substitute anchor for ABC World News with Diane Sawyer.

Besides airtime, the investigative journalist has won regional Edward R. Murrow awards and multiple Emmy Awards. At the same time, his good looks saw him listed as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men in 2014. Muir has since replaced Sawyer as host of the now renamed ABC World News with David Muir.
