Oprah Winfrey Is The Highest Paid Talk Show Host

Financial magazine Forbes published a list of the highest-paid TV celebrities yesterday.

It has been reported that daytime talk show host Oprah Winfrey is the highest paid host earning around $260 million between June 2006 and June 2007. Nobody else came close.

Second was Jerry Seinfeld earning around $60 million.

Oprah was joined at the top of the list by another talk show host, David Letterman, who landed at No. 4 by raking in $40 million in the same period from his “Late Night with David Letterman.”

Simon Cowell, the arrogant and harshly critical judge on top-rated talent show “American Idol” earned $45 million to land at No. 3, and Donald Trump, whose boisterous exclamation “You’re Fired” from reality show “The Apprentice” became part of the pop culture lexicon, was No. 5 with $32 million.
