Well, it is what it is. Nevertheless, the Good Morning America co-anchor does make a good $15 million from ABC every year, which is, of course, plenty. Stephanopoulos formerly served as Communications Director and Senior Adviser to the President at the White House.

The 59-year-old and his wife were infected with COVID-19 in April 2020, but things are looking much better now.

Luckily, Cuomo had $12 million to take care of any medical needs.
Barbara Walters - Est. $170 Million

The crime drama American Gigolo shot him to fame in 1980 and since then, he’s appeared in numerous other films, including The Diner and Three Christs. As an outspoken activist, Gere didn’t hold back from criticizing China when they occupied Tibet in 1993.

Stern’s dialogues have often attracted indecency fines from the FCC but that hasn’t halted the upward trajectory of his career one bit. Stern graces the celebrity news sections frequently, and in early 2019, it was because of his exchange with talk show host Wendy Williams.
