8. Katie Couric
Couric is worth $75 million and as an anchorwoman and journalist, most of her big salary came from 60 Minutes and The Today Show. She also was acknowledged as the first solo female news anchor for CBS Evening News. She clearly has plenty of money in the bank, but in spite of that, she does not use many high-end products. She is an avid user of traditional drug store brands such as Dove soap and Eucerin moisturizer. She insists that the more affordable brands work just as good as the more expensive brands. Instead of purchasing new clothes, she borrows clothes from her friends. Before she became big in the entertainment industry, she worked at ABC as a desk assistant. It wasn’t long before she began working with CNN as a producer and when she was given the opportunity, she went on as an on-air reporter. By 1987, she started a job as a reporter with an NBC affiliate station and eventually, she landed a spot onThe Today Show where she became an instant sensation.
