These are the faces we see every day. They are the people we trust to tell us what’s going on in the world, both the good and the bad. From the latest international crisis to the NBA finals, these are our people. TV reporters have extremely hard jobs, it’s not all glamour and sparkles. They work countless hours, experience a lot of backlashes, and can’t make many (if any) mistakes thanks to Live TV. We see the final product, but there’s a whole lot more going on behind-the-scenes. Their bank accounts reap all of their efforts! The salaries of TV reporters may surprise you; most of them are extremely well off. Think vacation homes galore and sports cars.
Kelly Ripa – $22 Million
Kelly Ripa’s career began in her soap opera debut in All My Children. She is often associated with her 12-year career with the popular show. Her big break came with the show “Live with Regis and Kelly!” where she co-hosted alongside the one and only Regis Philbin. Michael Strahan became her co-host for a while, and Ryan Seacrest currently holds the spot on their show “Live with Kelly and Ryan!” The pair interview celebrity guests, and discuss relevant topics in the news. Kelly takes home a whopping $22 million salary, even though she probably deserves more.
