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

Lesley Stahl – $40 Million

Lesley Stahl has been working for CBS in different capacities since the early ’70s. In that time, she’s marked many milestones, including winning a Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 2003 and celebrating her 30th season reporting for “60 Minutes,” which she also occasionally hosts, in 2021.

That said, she’s definitely earned the right to negotiate a high salary in exchange for her work. TV Guide once reported that she brought home $1.8 million a year as a “60 Minutes” correspondent, though her annual income today is not public knowledge. If her $40 million fortune is any indication, it’s safe to assume Stahl is still making a lot.
