Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady is the highest-paid figure on American TV after signing a blockbuster broadcasting deal with Fox Sports, according to Forbes. The seven-time Super Bowl champion reportedly earns about $37.5 million a year as the network’s lead NFL analyst, part of a lucrative contract that also includes stock and ambassador roles across the company.

Among scripted TV stars, the biggest pay packets go to Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon for Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show. They reportedly earn $2 million apiece per episode, meaning each took home $20 million for the show's 10-episode fourth season, which aired last year.
