Ellen Fanning – Undisclosed Annual Salary

Ellen Fanning is one of those rare people that have pedigree behind the camera and in front of it. She started her career in radio after graduating from the Queensland University of Technology with a degree in communications. She worked as a presenter at ABC Radio National but also served behind the scenes.

Fanning was a producer on the late-night ABC show Lateline. While she still worked in front of the camera on 60 minutes and A Current Affair as a reporter, she also wrote and directed a six-part mini-series called Fine Line. She is currently a co-host on The Drum.
