Chris Matthews – $5 Million Per Year

For over twenty years, television host Chris Matthew’s has been known for being a hard-hitting reporter. His show ‘Hardball’ was a fan-favorite on the ‘MSNBC’ channel for a long time, so it makes sense that this renowned political commentator would earn a huge salary!

And he did – Chris was bringing home nearly five million dollars a year, but he recently retired from his show. That doesn’t mean the money is stopping, though! He’s still in demand as a presenter, plus retirement comes with things like annuities, so it’s safe to say that between all that, there is little that this television star will have to worry about financially.
