Aside from being one of the most in-demand journalists in the U.S., with numerous shows to her name — including The Edge with Paula Zahn on Fox News, CBS This Morning and The CBS Evening News Saturday Edition, CNN primetime show Paula Zahn Now, and American Morning with Paula Zahn — Zahn is also a public speaker. Speaking notes she commands around $30,000 to $50,000 per appearance, which surely adds to Zahn's considerable net worth.
Her regular salary isn't publicly known. However, On the Case with Paula Zahn continues to go from strength to strength, and considering it's already 21 seasons strong, the show is guaranteed to have increased her bank balance significantly. The veteran broadcaster may have weathered a very public divorce scandal, but Celebrity Net Worth still puts her at $18 million, so it's unlikely Zahn is still feeling the effects all these years later. She continues to command the airwaves and is smiling all the way to the bank.
