« “But You Can’t Make A Silk Purse From A Sow’s Ear” E! Entertainment Radio Broadcast Change Alert »

Oprah topped the list of the highest-paid television stars in the United States.  Oprah Winfrey host and supervising producer of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” earns an estimated $260 million a year, according to a list in TV Guide magazine’s July 23 issue. 

I tried counting to a thousand one time and I made it to 87, so that quickly puts 260 million into perspective.  Maybe XM can talk her into doing her channel for free.  Below is the top five.

TOP FIVE (all salaries are per year)

Oprah Winfrey (”The Oprah Winfrey Show”): $260 million

Simon Cowell (”American Idol”): $45 million

Judge Sheindlin (”Judge Judy”): $30 million
