TV’s Top Earning Women List Came Out Today And It is Really Depressing

Tyra Banks is the Highest Paid Woman in Primetime

Today Forbes released their list of the highest paid women in primetime and I’m sure that more than one of the names will completely shock you. Tyra Banks took first place with her America’s Next Top Model hosting gig (making over $30 million in a twelve month period), and was followed by the Snow Princess herself, Katherine Heigl, whose earnings will also shock you. The complete list is here:

  1. Tyra Banks: $30 million
  2. Katherine Heigl: $18 million
  3. Marg Helgenberger: $9.5 million
  4. Eva Longoria: $9 million
  5. Mariska Hargitay: $8.5 million
  6. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: $8 million
  7. Maura Tierney: $8 million
  8. Tina Fey: $7 million
  9. Marcia Cross: $6.2 million
  10. Jennifer Love Hewitt & Ellen Pompeo (tie): $6 million

For the most part these ranking make sense, except for Tina Fey’s #8 spot, as she also writes and produces her hit show 30 Rock. Also, Jennifer Love Hewitt can still rack in 6 million a season for a TV show? Who knew? Do people still care about her? I was unaware. I’m also a bit surprised that a Seinfeld alum like JLD isn’t worth more than Heigl, who beside being a complete brat on and off the set of Grey’s, only makes crappy romantic comedies these days.
