For anyone who thought Megyn Kelly was a little overpaid on her previously reported salary of $17 million, get ready to swallow a bitter pill.
It is now being reported that Kelly, 46, is actually making a cool $23 million per year for her new NBC morning show—and has been given a three-year contract at that level of pay.
According to a report by DailyMailTV, NBC executives not involved in the hiring of the former Fox News host have said that her salary is “obscene” and a “slap in the face” to other NBC veteran stars
If the $23 million figure is correct, it means that Kelly’s remuneration package is bested only by Matt Lauer, who has been at NBC for 23 years, and has an estimated salary of $25 million.
