Rachel Maddow Takes Pay Cut With MSNBC's Future in Jeopardy

[TrollBuster9090]

62. She's pretty well compensated either way.

From what I’ve been able to look up, Maddow is the highest paid personality at MSNBC. She literally makes three times as much as the next ‘anchor,’ for one day’s work per week. I doubt she ‘gave up’ the salary on principle. I think at $30 million or $25 million, it’s still the best money she could get for what amounts to a part time job. It gives her the time to write books, which is what she really wants to do.

I'm not trying to take anything away from her. I definitely like watching her program the most of any of the MSNBC programs. The only two that come close for me are Joy Reid and Chrish Hayes. Since we're paying for celebrity, and not work per se, she deserves what she gets.

Rachel Maddow $30 million (now 25)
Brian Williams $10 million
Joe Scarborough $8 million (too much for that Vishi)
Mika Brzezinski $8 million (too much for THAT Vishi)
Lawrence O’Donnell $7 million (stop the hammering!)
Chris Matthews $5 million until he quit.
Joy Reid $5 million
Ari Melber $5 million (unshaven anesthesiologist, if you ask me)
Andrea Mitchell $5 million (Send her to CNN, if you want my opinion)
Willie Geist $5 million (Not bad for a cleaned up version of Andy Richter.)
Katy Tur $4 million
Chuck Todd $4 million (too much for garden variety 'both siderist')
Ali Velshi (hardest working stiff at the network. He deserves twice as much.) $3 million
Chris Hayes $2 million (He’s getting screwed, blued, and tattooed)
Alex Witt $2 million
Stephanie Ruhle $1 million
Nicolle Wallace $1 million
