Anderson Cooper – $12 Million Per Year
Imagine being born in a wealthy family, with an artist and a writer for parents, studying journalism, but after applying for a job, you get rejected. This is the unfortunate turn of events that saw Cooper study Vietnamese, not knowing this would become his stepping stone – The language launched his career as a reporter for Vietnamese life and culture, culminating in his enrollment to one of the world’s leading news outlets, ‘CNN.’
An avid politics fan, he has become the broadcasters’ primary anchor gracing our screens nightly. With viewership worldwide, Cooper’s 12 million dollars yearly salary is something he is proud of!
