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).
