ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith is reportedly making even more than previously thought. According to reports by The Athletic and New York Post, Smith makes $12 million annually in total compensation.

Smith’s salary has been in the news lately in connection to fellow ESPN host Maria Taylor. A New York Post report revealed that Taylor was offered $5 million by ESPN in 2020 but turned it down seeking “Stephen A. Smith money.” In that report, The Post wrote Smith’s ESPN salary was $8 million.

The latest from The Post’s Andrew Marchand states that Smith’s “personal salary” is $8 million but that he also has a $4 million-per-year “production contract” which brings his total compensation to $12 million.

Smith’s reported salary became a hot topic on social media. Stewart Mandel of The Athletic opined that Smith’s salary shows that Nick Saban is “grossly underpaid” at just seven figures.
