Who’s The US' Highest-Paid Female Anchor? Hint: Hoda Kotb's Got Nothing On Her!

Samantha Ponder – $12.5 Million

Sportscaster Samantha Ponder knows her worth, so she endeavored to navigate the gender pay gap in the world of broadcasting as best as she could. As a result, she negotiated an annual pay of $4.9 million for her work as the host of ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” a job she continued to hold in 2021.

Ponder, who’s estimated to be worth $12.5 million, is only the third person to occupy the aforementioned hosting position in the ESPN show’s three-decade history. That said, the network definitely made the right choice in picking her, given her long history as a sports reporter beginning from her college years.
