Glenn Beck - $32 Million Paycheck for 2009, Forbes Cover

Fox news host Glenn Beck earned a whopping $32 million in 2009. The multi-tasking "entertainer" spreads controversy for a living and is an opponent of almost all things President Barack Obama. Forbes estimates that job pays fairly well in the US as the magazine claims Beck makes $13 million a year from his books and on a 10-issue-a-year magazine his company publishes named "Fusion."

The Arizona Republic reveals that Forbes estimates Beck's radio deal attracts an additional $10 million a year — he is currently working through a five-year $50 million contract — and Fox pays him $2 million for his 5 p.m. show.

a chunk of change in thirds.
