Katie Couric | $100 Million

It is a well-known fact that Katie Couric is one of the highest-paid news anchors at present. Even back during the mid to late nineties, she was already making $7 million annually. Today, reports say that Couric receives $11 million a year. However, it shouldn’t be a surprise considering how prolific she is as a journalist. Aside from being one of the most familiar faces in the field, she has also worked on several high-profile news programs.

Her first gig as a journalist was with ABC News. Even back then, the electricity she gave off had always been palpable. She later received recruitment to join CNN as an assignment editor. It wasn’t until the 80s that she started work as a reporter. Couric even won an Emmy and an Associated Press Award for the work she has done in the field with her wit and innate skill.
