$10 Million – Stephen A. Smith
“They weren’t in Archdale, North Carolina, like I was, living on tuna fish and Kool-Aid, doing editorial assistance work during the day and at night covering high school sports in North Carolina for zero,” said Stephan A. Smith. He no longer lives off canned fish as he is one of the best-paid on-air sports media personalities at ESPN. The buzz around him started to build when he was working on Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith, although he primarily focuses on First Take these days.
