Since most of you work in TV news, you all know just how well this business pays and that is why so many of you are rich.

Yeah right.

But, if you can climb to the top, you can make some bank.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, the Today Show’s Craig Melvin has an estimated net worth of $9 million combined with his wife, sports reporter Lindsay Czarniak.

Melvin reportedly is bringing in an annual salary of $3 million bucks at NBC.

In the early 2000’s Melvin was working at WIS (Columbia, South Carolina) where I would guess he was making less than $50,000 dollars.

So, there is hope that one day you could make some major cheese in this business.

But hey, let’s be honest, it likely won’t happen.
