Gayle King — $11 Million

Since both her children are now grown up and independent, Gayle King works around the clock to keep herself busy. She works for CBS News, co-hosting CBS This Morning six days per week. The show has received and maintained great reviews, which is most likely why CBS pays King $11 million in salaries every year.

For over two decades, King has been working as an editor on O, The Oprah Magazine. She is, in fact, close friends with and very much loved by Oprah Winfrey. Despite her busy work weeks, King likes to spice things up by occasionally accepting invitations to appear in movies.
