Stephen Colbert – $15 Million Per Year

Not many television hosts can walk the fine line between humor and hard-hitting interviews with substance like Stephen Colbert can. Which is one of the reasons he’s worth an estimated seventy-five million dollars!

Stephen’s success on his show The Colbert Report led to him becoming the new host for The Daily Show which he took over in 2015, and it’s where we can still see him in action now. He will be around for a while as his contract has been extended to 2023 with a significant boost in salary, meaning he now earns an impressive fifteen million dollars a year!
