12. Ellen DeGeneres: $75 million
Ellen DeGeneres was once a comic who was featured on her own moderately successful sitcom. She has since become one of the top talk show personalities in that business, a woman who has also been asked to host award shows. Along with her midweek show, DeGeneres is also responsible for a production company that created several television shows. Bethenny and One Big Happy may not have been massive hits that drew in millions of viewers, but those programs represented the early days of a studio that will more than likely eventually make a widely-watched show.
