Bill O’Reilly – $20 Million

Bill earned his most fame from his show The O’Reilly Factor with which he had been associated since 1996. The show was added to the 8 pm slot of ABC network. It was considered a top-rated show for a consecutive 136 months. The show also proved to be the highest profit earner for the ABC network thus it is pretty much obvious that ABC will never let Bill leave them at any cost. It should be no surprise that Bill earned a paycheck of $20 million. But he started anchoring on the No Spin News podcast after he was kicked out from Fox. O’Reilly was also accused of paying more than $50 million to many women to settle the assault lawsuits, which surely affected his career as a journalist.
