MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has reportedly agreed to take a “far lesser amount” than her current $30 million a year as worries loom among MSNBC staff after parent company Comcast revealed its plan to spin off several NBCUniversal channels — including the network — into a new company.
Maddow, who has been with MSNBC since 2008, renegotiated her deal with the network and is set to make $25 million annually for the next five years, a $5 million per year pay cut, The Ankler reported Thursday.

$30 million down to 25. You call that massive? Who’s gonna offer more than 10? Anything less than 25 would be insulting in that world. She’s not worth it.

i think she’s saved a little, making 30 million a year.
I was astounded to read that amount.
i dont understand why on earth someone would pay her so much.
She’ll still get 25 million a year.
i think she’ll survive.
and if she is let go, some other insane network will pick her up for a “cheap” 10 million

And if Elon buys MSNBC as has been mentioned, he’s known to take some major cost-cutting actions. She could be out on the street selling pencils or washing windshields at stop lights. Poor thing.

She’s going from $30 million a year to $25 million a year - for someone who has no audience, that’s not much of a pay cut.
To: DallasBiff
oh my, how will she live? just 25 million, OMG how terrible for her/he/it.

She better take it. Before Musk buys the place. I doubt he pays his janitors 25 mil a year.
