Ernie Johnson ($1 500 000)
NBA broadcasting legend Ernie Johnson has earned every single penny he’s worked for during his stint on ‘Inside the NBA’. He might feel like a bit of a third wheel alongside Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal, but fans agree that oftentimes he is probably the only person that could mediate as well between two such prominent personalities. In order to do so he has to have a firm hand, but also know when to lighten the mood with a quip or two to get everyone on level ground again.
