Oprah Makes a Lot of Money, Part 389: Tops Best-Paid Talk Show Hosts
Forbes has released its annual list of the the ten highest-paid talk show hosts on television. Number 1 was, duh, Oprah. Of the $568 million banked by the combined top ten, almost half came ($275 million) came from Oprah. Even other people on the list, like Dr. Phil (#2 with $80 million) and Rachel Ray (#8 with $15 million) contribute directly to Oprah’s bottom line – she produces their shows. Oh, and by the way: thank you, Oprah.
