According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tom Brokaw "signed a five-year $7 million contract with NBC" in 1997, which was the equivalent of about $11.4 million today. Celebrity Net Worth reports that once the contract expired, Brokaw signed two more extensions to stay with the network, including a 10-year extension "to produce documentaries and other series." Brokaw is believed to have garnered roughly $5 million in annual salary (per Celebrity Net Worth). Given these hefty earnings, it's no surprise the outlet estimates Brokaw's net worth at $85 million.
With six USA Today bestsellers under his belt (per USA Today), the former NBC anchor has also enjoyed quite the writing career! Of Brokaw's seven books to date, The Greatest Generation, which highlighted the plight of working-class Americans during the Great Depression, is his most well-known. As of 2015, USA Today reported that "over 8 million copies of this and his other books have been sold across formats," which has surely boosted his overall earnings. According to Deadline, Brokaw will "continue to be active in print journalism and write books," which likely means high earnings even in retirement.
