Michael Strahan: ~ $17 Million
Strahan used to be a poster-boy for professional football, who eventually retired from the game and was seeking opportunities to attain financial security off the field. The big move from playing as the defensive end to becoming a full-time talk show host, turned out to be a great decision and Michael now has an annual salary of $17 million.
His TV career aside, Michael must be making some very good investment decisions, because his net worth seems to be growing every year, and is now pegged at a whopping $65 million. With his sports career behind him, and considering that he is nowhere near retiring from his TV projects, there are only good things in store for Strahan.
