Tony Kornheiser ($6 000 000)
We’ve mentioned Mike Wilbon already, but the sportscasting legend can’t be spoken about without another sports fan favorite, namely Tony Kornheiser. In the early stages of his career, he wrote for the Washington Post to boost his profile, which was ultimately enough to land him a TV job with ESPN. Not a man to sit still, Tony has been involved in a multitude of different programs over the years, scooping up various accolades (and a healthy paycheck) along the way.

Pam Oliver ($1 000 000)
It’s not often that you find a female sportscaster with decades of experience, and Pam Oliver has certainly earned her stripes of her long and illustrious career. Not quite finding a home at a particular network in the early years, she eventually landed a stable gig with ESPN back in the early nineties. That’s not to say that she sat still after that happened. Her $1 000 000 paycheck is proof that it’s worth shopping around for deals as you progress through your broadcasting career.
