Lesley Stahl | $40 Million

TV journalist Lesley Stahl began a professional career in broadcasting through WHDH-TV in Boston. As some might already know, she received a boost in popularity after she covered the Watergate Scandal. Following this, she received an assignment as the White House Correspondent for CBS. Stahl kept this post through various presidential houses, including Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.

Aside from being a correspondent to CBS News, Stahl also served as moderator for Face the Nation from 1983 to 1991. The younger generation might know her best for her appearance as a correspondent on 60 Minutes since 1991. With a career as prolific as hers, we wonder where Stahl gets the gas to continue forging ahead. After all, at almost 80 years old, she is still doing what she loves best and gaining new sets of fans each year.
