While Whoopi’s current salary as a panelist for The View isn’t publicly known, Variety reported back in 2016 that her contract was estimated to be “in the $5 to $6 million range.”
Moreover, according to Celebrity Networth, the Sister Act star’s net worth is estimated to be $30 million.
Whoopi’s former co-host, Meghan McCain, said back in April that there was a disconnect between The View’s panelists and the general public who were watching at home, Buzzfeed reported on Wednesday (November 13).

She said on her Citizen McCain podcast: “I had an experience while I was working at ABC News [on The View]. I was in a particularly heated Hot Topics meeting.
“I remember yelling at the meeting that: ‘Some of you, or all of you, are going to have to start interacting with people who don’t make $100,000 a year or more.’
“‘You have to interact with someone who makes minimum wage, on some level or another’.”
