Conan O’Brien – $12 Million Per Year

Since his high-school years, Conan O’Brien already had quite a knack for all things literature. In college, he also contributed as a writer for the humor magazine Harvard Lampoon before graduating with a degree in history and literature. Soon after, Conan made his way into the entertainment industry and wrote for programs such as Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons.

Conan has since become well-known for being a late-night talk show host, having worked on the Late Night Show, The Tonight Show, and Conan. With his ten-year tenure for Conan already coming to a close, Conan is reportedly set to resume his work in an upcoming still-untitled variety show. It’s safe to say that little to no changes will happen to his annual salary, which is currently at $12 million. Whatever project he works on, fans are assured that Conan will always give it a 110%.
