$7 Million – Bob Costas
It feels like the sports coverage provided by Bob Costas will never end. He has been at it for a long time now. In the past, he also covered big events. In fact, others say that he is the most famous broadcast to ever live! He understands how sports and society are related, which helps his career a lot. It is a lot of fun to see him make his commentary as he always shows us not just the play but also the big picture.
$6 Million – Thierry Henry
Thierry Henry did not work as a commentator for more than a year, but he deserves a spot here. He hails from the soccer world and played for a couple of teams over the course of his career. While he worked as a Sky Sports commentator for a short while, he left to pursue coaching. We do not know how bold of a move this was, although he continues to rake in a decent amount of money in his new job.
