Judy Woodruff | $8 Million

Judy Woodruff is a news anchor, journalist, and writer. Throughout her career, she has worked for NBC, CNN, and PBS. Surprisingly, Woodruff began her career not too long after receiving her degree from Duke University. She joined CBS in 1970 and received a job as an anchor for a CBS affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia. Woodruff left the post in 1975 and moved to NBC News. Just a year later, she covered the 1976 U.S. presidential campaign and became chief White House Correspondent.

At present, Woodruff is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. On top of this, she also serves as a board member for the International Women’s Media Foundation. Needless to say, Woodruff is one busy woman. Aside from her work in broadcasting, she is also a published author whose work has gone on to become bestsellers. It won’t be long before the tamed anchor establishes a reliable income stream from her writing and book sales.
