Radio puts four personalities in the top 30 of the Forbes Celebrity list.
Two are still all-radio, and two got their start in radio and are still doing it, while branching out. #23 in the new Forbes list is Premiere talker Rush Limbaugh, with an estimated recent yearly pay of $64 million. #24 is KIIS-FM, Los Angeles and Premiere-syndicated Ryan Seacrest, $61 million. (He was on Leno this week, talking about coming to L.A. from radio in Atlanta, doing overnight board-op work and driving the promotional van for Star 98.7 KYSR.) #26 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list is Howard Stern of Sirius XM, $76 million. And #30 is Premiere talker Glenn Beck, with an estimated $40 million in pay. In leaving Fox, Forbes says "Beck appears to think he can become bigger still, by striking out on his own." That’s probably true. But he's continuing the lucrative radio gig, which pays more than TV did.
I made 5 figures in radio last year. The low five figures.
