Tucker Carlson, 54 – $30 Million
Tucker Carlson gained widespread recognition as the co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire” and later as the host of MSNBC’s “Tucker.” However, it was on Fox News that he truly made his mark, hosting “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which quickly became one of the highest-rated cable news programs in the United States.
Tucker’s show is known for its no-holds-barred approach to dissecting political issues, often challenging mainstream narratives and advocating for populist and nationalist viewpoints. His impact extends beyond television. He’s a prolific author, with books like “Ship of Fools” and “The Long Slide” delving into his critiques of American politics and society.
