Mika Brzezinski – $8 Million Per Year

We simply cannot watch Morning Joe without Mika Brzezinski on it! The anchor has been the face of the MSNBC show for over a decade, and in the time, she established herself as a strong-willed person who will bow down to nothing but hard-hitting journalism.

Given her passion for her craft, we bet she is enjoying every moment of being on the screen. Plus, with her soaring popularity and consistent ratings, she was able to negotiate a salary of $8 million. That kind of money can keep more than a few lights in her home running!
