PHIL—EST. $400 MILLION

Now it seems that Phil McGraw’s career is really colorful. Previously, McGraw had been pursuing the goal of becoming a psychologist. He did realize this dream and successfully obtained his Ph.D. in psychology. However, in the early 1990s, when he was a little famous on the Oprah Winfrey Show, he began to plan his own television career.

He was introduced to the world by Oprah, and a few years later, he’s got his own syndicated talk show, a slew of authored books, and a number of shows that list his name as one of the producers. The man quite literally owes Oprah his success. That’s not to say he isn’t a workhorse since he clearly is. His annual salary, which is reportedly $88 million, puts him high on the list of highest-paid celebrities in 2020. And, currently, there seems to be no stopping the degree to which this clinical psychologist’s bank account will continue to balloon in the years to come.
