MEGYN KELLY | $45 MILLION

Megyn Kelly is a journalist and lawyer best known for her 13-year stint as an anchor at Fox News, and then for her brief appearance on NBC in the 2010s. The TV host has some of her own shows, including America Live and The Megyn Kelly Show, and is now using Instagram and YouTube nearly entirely. Thanks to becoming one of the most-watched TV anchors in the US, Kelly was listed by TIME as one of the most influential women in the country, and she even had a film made about her.

If you’re wondering about her roots, Kelly attended Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. She entered in an undergraduate degree in political science from this institution before transferring to Albany Law School in 1992. After getting her Juris Doctor in 1995, Kelly immediately worked as an associate at a major law firm in Chicago. Before becoming famous, she worked for the international law firm Jones Day for nine years.
