When it comes to television's top earning celebrities, there's no surprise that Oprah Winfrey came out ahead of the pack.
According to TV Guide Magazine's recent survey of the industry's highest paid television stars the Queen of Media reportedly earns $315 million a year for 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.'
While Winfrey exceeds Judge Judy ($45 million) and 'American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest ($15 million) annually, studio executives state that leading actors and actress' salaries can vary depending on a show's success.
Other notable celebs that made the list were 'CSI' star Laurence Fishburne ($350,000 per show), 'HawthoRNe's Jada Pinkett Smith ($150,000 per show), and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' actor LL Cool J ($125, 000 per show).
Check out this year's complete list here.

While she might make more, three times more people watch Judge Judy. Judge Judy will be on the air for years to come. O's days on the air are almost over. See ya ...

Here's why you are the one who is illiterate: 1)You have nothing better to do than insult someone who has done you no harm.
2)You ASS UME that she wants to be White as if that is the be-all and end-all of life itself.
3)She is laughing all the way to the bank while your broke ass is on this site hurling insults about someone you don't even know.
4)The more I see ignorance from 'WHITE HATERS' like you is the more I wonder why you think ANYBODY would want to be like you. So, she make be a "Monkey" as you called her, but you are a broke-ass clown. Now, Marinate on THAT!
