Kelly Ripa: ~ $120 Million

You won’t expect that such a small female has a whopping $120-million net worth. Kelly may have a petite frame and small stature but her wealth speaks volumes about how brilliant she is as an individual. Yes, the New Jersey-born actress and daytime TV host Kelly even has an annual salary of $22 million to boot. She is not after money all the time, though. Kelly is a supporter of ovarian cancer causes and gives a portion of her wealth to various charitable organizations, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

She’s appeared in TV series All My Children, but she credits a huge success as a talk show host. Her big opportunity came when she had to replace Kathie Lee Gifford as the co-host with Regis Philbin on Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. The show was later renamed to Live! With Regis and Kelly. Right now, Kelly co-hosts the show with Ryan Seacrest.
