Ann Curry: $5 Million

Ann Curry has devoted more than 30 years to her journalism career. While she was at the top position and her career was soaring, she was booted out from her position on NBC’s Today. It was speculated that her co-host Matt Lauer was the real reason for her eviction as he threatened the network that he will refrain from continuing the contract if Curry continues to sit beside him. With this Ann Curry lost her job with NBC and also her salary of $12 million. Soon she announced that she will appear with a new role in NBC. Though her salary has plunged down to $5 million, her credit score hasn’t affected as she is still considered as one of the highest earning news anchors.
