Meanwhile Kelly was making $15 million, now increased to $18 million, and has been doing broadcasting for 25 years. Think what she could have been making by hopping around.

Once you hit a certain level, the rest is just zeros in the bank.

Not in New York it doesn't. A 'baby' penthouse is $10,000,000. A four or five-bedroom for multiple kids on the 'right' side of Manhattan is $20,000,000+. Then you need the Hamptons home and the ski chalet. Pretensions add up quickly.

Sometimes the best drama is the one with a conclusion to it. Lots of speculation here about 'oh he's a loser that'll never work out'. Guess who got the last laugh suckers.

I like Michael better on GMA than I did on Live.

I thought he was making a big mistake leaving Live - it seemed like a cushy gig and he was a natural, but he’s really improved ion GMA and does a good job holding his own with the trained journalists. Agree with the person who said he was a risk taker and kudos to him.

I never liked him on Live. I don't understand his appeal. Maybe I'll check out GMA and see.

Yeah, but no one knows what goes on behind the scenes. Kelly could have been a real difficult person to work with. She seems like a big diva.
