I would say Judge Judy...

TV's Judge Judy (in her late 60's & signed thru 2013) makes $45m per year while working only 52 days...

Could she be the most over paid person in the world?

I agree. These people get paid ridiculous amounts of money and they don't really do much work. Sure, they do work, but they don't work that much harder than your average blue-collar worker who gets paid significantly less.

thats another story, this is not a plural question... there are plenty of athletes that make a million or less a year and spend a majority of the year away from there family, and when they finally do get there several month off season they spend a lot of that working out, in training camps, running camps for kids, etc.... where sure, brian scalebrine (crappy basketball player that never plays) could be over compensated for his physically gruelling year round job... judge judy gets 45 million a year for 52 days of work.

Razor-Lazor
I kinda like him, and 7.7mil makes him far from the highest earner. I think near the top would be Judge Judy ($30mil), Jeremy Kyle, Oprah ($260mil), Jerry Springer ($4) and all other social problems talk show hosts, a real psychologist, judge or lawyer costs less and they'ld do a better job. Simon Cowell earns $45mil however he seems to be the only competent judge you can get on those talent shows and he does work a lot of hours, i think the shows he's on are definitely not worth the money but not including him on a judging panel of a talent show is idiotic. Tyra Banks gets paaid $3.5mil just to be a *****, she has absolutely no value and should just be fired.

None of them. If they make their employers alot of dough, you can't blame them that they want a slice of that pie. Of course this isn't always the case, but life isn't always fair. If you think they're overpaid, just don't watch it. That's sadly just the way it is. Now i await for the flames.

Absolutely every Actor in Hollywood!! No reason what so ever for an actor to get paid the Millions per movie. I can maybe understand 100,000-200,000 for some movies and actors , but not $20,000,000 for one friggen movie. And Doctors that Actually Save Human lives-including actors - may get paid on average 200,000-500,000 a year? not to mention the Schooling and enormous devotion to hours spent in Practicum. THere are of course some MDs that get somewhere in the millions--but rare.

It really blows my mind that an Actor playing a Dr - gets paid Significantly more than an actual Doctor? How does this make sense??

$45m per year? Geez. Now I know why these judges go Television. Even if they make a fool of themselves and others. Incredible...

Oprah no contest.

Serraph105
Whether you like her or not, she's a very influential person. More so, in a positive way than negative. I think she deserves it, but she might be just a tad bit overpaid. Dr. Phil makes like 2 million per episode.. as well as Ray Romano with 2million per episode as well back in the days. Kim Kardashian gets paid $10k per Tweet on Twitter. I would say she's overpaid and she's hardly a celeb. She's not even talented. Smart maybe, but not talented.

This. No contest.

I think that her production company (Harpo) is responsible for the biggest part of her pay check. She's a business woman, not only a talkshow host.

Charlie Sheen was being paid over $800,000 an episode two years ago, and I think it's over 1 million per episode now. Sure in a year that's only $20 million or so, but for under a months worth of work it's a lot.
