ELLEN DEGENERES – $50 MILLION

Well known TV host Ellen DeGeneres first came to public attention with Ellen, a popular sitcom. This show ran from 1994 to 1998 before she rocked the TV industry with her talk program that started in 2003, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Incase many don’t know yet, Ellen also did credit roles in several films such as Mr. Wrong, The Love Letter, and EDtv. To date, she has been invited to be the presenter of the Primetime Emmy, Grammy Award, and Academy Award ceremonies.

Also, she was one of the judges of American Idol Season 9. Her relationship with long-time partner Portia de Rossi is well known in the circuit. The duo got hitched in 2008 and has been going strong since then. Both of them have a relaxed lifestyle to maintain, and we guess Ellen’s annual salary of $50 million is more than enough to sustain it.
