Robin Roberts – $18 million

Famous for her ESPN SportCentre catchphrase “Get on with your bad self”, Current ABC Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts made a name for herself as a sportscaster on the sports broadcasters flagship show. She partnered with George Stephanopoulos to get GMA to the top of the morning network ratings. She was also inducted in the Women’s Basketball Hall of fame for her contributions through broadcasting.

Roberts also gained notoriety for a 2011 interview with singer Chris Brown where, in light of assault charges against him for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, she continued to ask questions about Brown’s relationship with Rihanna, despite his agitation about the subject.
