The Wall Street Journal reports that in the final year of her contract, Megyn Kelly is currently making $15 million, and while a salary north of $20 million would be a sizable increase–at least percentage-wise–apparently Fox News is looking to make a deal to keep Megyn Kelly with the network after her contract runs out.
The Kelly File isn’t quite as popular as Bill O’Reilly’s show, but it does do very well in the ratings, averaging 2.7 million viewers.
At Fox News, that’s the type of salary that only heavyweights like Bill O’Reilly command.
(O’Reilly’s show generally averages over 3 million.)
