Meghan McCain – $1 million

The daughter of former US senator John McCain, Meghan McCain, spent most of her life in the spotlight. While on the campaign trail with her father in 2007, she wrote a popular blog that opened the door for her to become a contributing writer for news and opinion website The Daily Beast.

Her writing skills also landed her a six-figure publishing deal with Hyperion (now Hachette Books) in 2009. By 2011, Meghan made her first move into television as a political analyst for MSNBC. Since moving to TV she has hosted her political show, co-hosted another on Fox Network, and currently co-hosts daytime talk show The Talk.
