Erin Burnett | $6 Million

Erin Burnett started working behind the camera before she became the host of Erin Burnett OutFront on CNN. She used to be the writer and casting guest analyst of the show Moneyline, eventually climbing her way to the top and became the Vice President of Citigroup/CitiMedia. She then worked for the shows of Bloomberg Television and CNBC as a host. Burnett also worked as the co-anchor of Squawk on the Street, and magically, the show’s rating improved with her in it. No wonder Joe Scarborough dubbed her the “International Superstar.”

Burnett went on to do several documentaries with the right investment money, and those weren’t produced in the US alone. It was filmed in different parts of the world, from Libya to India and everywhere in between. Burnett is also one of the fearless anchors today, mostly focusing on reporting in the Middle East and files reports from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, and other countries in this region.
