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

Jane Pauley – $40 Million

With decades of reporting experience behind her, Jane Pauley is already a veteran in broadcast journalism. She once replaced Barbara Walters on NBC’s “Today” and is now the host of “CBS Sunday Morning.” Several online blogs estimate that she earns $1.2 million a year as a CBS anchor. 

Pauley, who has also built a $40 million fortune, notably scored the first interview with Hillary Clinton following her loss in 2016 for CBS. She continues to book high-profile personalities for her show, taping an interview with A-list actor Hugh Jackman in December 2021.
