Lawrence O’Donnell: $4 million

Long before he worked as a Journalist, Lawrence was a writer. The film A Case of Deadly Force was inspired by his published book Deadly Force. In 1989, he went to become the senior analyst of Moynihan. He has also been the staff director of U.S Senate Committee of Finance. After all these, he stepped in the television industry and was called the American Television pundit. He became best known for hosting The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell. But the times before he got a show in his own name, he used to fill in Countdown with Keith Olbermann as a host on MSNBC. He earned a salary of $4 million. With a net worth of $12 million, we don’t think he will ever need to apply for any mortgage loan.
