Michael Wilbon– $6 Million

Since 2001, Michael Wilbon co-hosts the ESPN sports talk show “Pardon the Interruption.” He previously worked for The Washington Post as a columnist and earned the reputation of being one of the nation’s best deadline writers. Wilbon also made weekly appearances on WRC-TV for the “Redskins Report.”

In 2006, he inked a multi-year contract extension with ESPN, but The Washington Post asked him to stay on board. While he eventually penned his last Post column in 2010, it shows how bankable he is as a reporter and sportscaster, and it pays big time. Wilbon earns a reported $6M each year.
