The July 23rd issue of TV Guide has a list of the top paid people on television and Oprah takes the top place. The top 5 list is as follows:

  • TOP FIVE (all salaries are per year)
  • Oprah Winfrey (”The Oprah Winfrey Show“): $260 million
  • Simon Cowell (”American Idol”): $45 million
  • Judge Sheindlin (”Judge Judy”): $30 million
  • Katie Couric (”CBS Evening News Anchor”): $15 million
  • Zach Braff (”Scrubs”): $6.3 million

The list does go into different categories but wow at Zach Braff. I love Scrubs and it seems that NBC does too. Check out the link for more people and check out the TV Guide issue to get the goods.

    I find it concerning that a judge gets paid so much. Can she give a fair trial whilst under the pay of a private organisation?

  2. Mike D says:

    she’s not a real judge anymore shes an arbitrator

  3. Evan says:

    A rich one at that.

  4. I think Zack Braff gets paid for more than just acting in Scrubs. I’m fairly certain he writes it, too. If not more….

  5. Right. Which known celebrities in the world is poor? It’s no surprise…

  6. Evan says:

    Probably some child celebs on drugs?
