Scott Pelley: $5 Million
The American journalist, Scott Pelley can be dubbed as one of the most experienced journalists in the journalism industry. He has been an anchor and correspondent for CBS Evening News. Besides being an anchor for more than 30 years, he is now also holding the position of managing editor of CBS Evening News. Pelley has earned multiple awards including a George Foster Peabody award and also an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Silver Baton. He has been working with CBS since 1989, but he earned most of his fame from 60 Minutes.
