Michael Strahan — $17 Million

Strahan is a former football player who played all of his 15-year career for the New York Giants in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl in 2001. But he’s moved on from playing defensive end to now playing talk-show host, and he does more than sports.

While doing NFL analysis for Fox NFL Sunday, Strahan also hosts Good Morning America, and it’s spin-off, Strahan, Sara and Keke. He also won a daytime Emmy Award for his work on Live! With Kelly and Michael. Strahan ended his football endorsements when signing permanently with ABC, but earning $17 million a year should have softened that financial blow.
