NBC Still Paying Megyn Kelly

Megyn Kelly was bounced from NBC a while ago, but it appears that the Peacock is still paying her money.

The International Business Times says that Kelly has a net worth of $45 million and while she is no longer with NBC, the network is still paying the remaining amount of her massive contract. 

Kelly signed a three-year, $69 million contract with NBC in 2017. Halfway through the deal, the then-anchor of "Megyn Kelly Today" was embroiled in controversy after saying that blackface was acceptable in the context of Halloween costumes.

Calls for her resignation grew, leading to her morning show getting canceled and her representatives negotiating the terms of her exit with NBC.

In the end, it was reported that her severance package was around $30 million.

Kelly was the highest-paid anchor at NBC with around $23 million in annual salary. The top spot once belonged to Matt Lauer, commanding a salary that was estimated to be as high as $25 million.

Now, Kelly has plenty of money and spends her days trying to be relevant and get back in the good graces of the right-wing.
