Ginger Zee – $500K

Who says you can’t be pretty and know how to predict the weather? Ginger Renee Colonomos, a.k.a. Ginger Zee is currently working for ABC News as the chief meteorologist. After graduating from college, she grafted through the regional scene working for WEYI-TV in Michigan and WYIN-TV in Indiana, among others.

Ginger’s big break came when she worked for Chicago based, NBC owned WMAQ. Her five-year stint created the stepping stones she needed for her first taste of national TV on Good Morning America Weekend in 2011. Two years later, Ginger became the permanent meteorologist for both Good Morning America and Weather Edition for ABC News.
