With the big move from cable TV to Satellite TV, the various news networks have just exploded across the small screen with news being relayed to us 24/7 and don’t even get us started about games shows and reality TV shows! The good folks who present us these programs are usually learned people with professional degrees in journalism, or a lot of anchoring experience. While a couple of decades ago, being a journalist or TV show host might not have been a lucrative job, but the tides have turned.
Getting paid in millions annually, our handsome and pretty anchors and hosts need some top-notch wealth management services to keep their bank accounts from overflowing. Living the big life, these wealthy anchors are known to splurge on fast cars, expensive hotels, luxurious spas and occasionally, some blingy jewelry. After all, being a public figure on air is a pretty high-risk job… if they offend someone or share an unpopular opinion, their law firms and bevy of attorneys better be ready to defend them in court, when sued!
Ryan Seacrest: ~ $71.5 Million
One TV host who has always been in demand has been Ryan Seacrest, who is busy these days commuting in his private jet between Los Angeles and New York to host both American Idol and Live! with Kelly and Ryan. For all that trouble, he gets paid a handsome $10 million yearly, ensuring that his bank account never runs dry.
Other sources of income include red carpet events, his E! Network earnings, and of course, his ever-popular radio show that features his trademark hosting style. Like that wasn’t enough, Ryan also designed his own menswear and clothing line, named Ryan Seacrest Distinction, and a men’s skincare line called Polished. Known for buying new homes and flipping them for a profit, our free online psychic does not predict bankruptcy in Ryan’s future anytime soon!
