MICHELLE BEADLE – $5 MILLION
Michelle Beadle takes first place for having the highest earnings in the world of sports media. Beadle is a familiar face and happens to be one of the most recognizable faces of ESPN. She became a member of the ESPN family back in 2009, after having hosted a variety of shows for a number of networks.
Beadle bagged her big break with EPSN2 as the host for SportsNation. She then successfully managed to land the post to host Get Up! and despite being the only woman, as she worked with Jalen Rose as well as Mike Greenberg in the show, she stood out and made a name for herself. Beadle is a sports reporter at the moment, hosting for ESPN as well. She is one of the sports network’s biggest and best talents, and it certainly is no wonder that she is such a top-earner!
