11. Rush Limbaugh
Earnings: $79M
Personality, Radio
Rush Limbaugh’s talk show remains one of conservative America’s favorite programs–broadcast through 625 affiliates across the continent to an audience of 20 million. Never one to dull listeners, he delights in a savage ultrapatriotism that more often than not puts liberals directly in its cross hairs. (Last year, he threatened to sue the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, a powerful leftist political machine.) He has embraced a get-’em-while-they’re-young mentality in his new sideline: a children’s book series. Its main character? Time-traveler Rush Revere and trusty, talking steed Liberty. The pair bounces around colonial America, meeting the original patriots.
