GAYLE KING – $5.5 MILLION

Gayle King is CBS News’ chief anchor and co-hosts their primary morning program, CBS This Morning. Over the years, she continues her reign and has been one of the dominating forces of the industry since she joined the crew in 2012. In 2018, Gayle King was part of the inductees for the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, and she’s named as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2019.

With her track record, she’s more than worthy of earning $5.5 million annually as her salary. That figure though, is enough to keep her and her family away from bankruptcy for many years to come.
