Daily Mail UK, 22 April 2017...
Bill O'Reilly will be walking away with a sizable sum of money following the termination of his Fox News contract after over 20 years at the network.
O'Reilly will be getting $25million from the network after being terminated in the wake of the latest Fox News sexual harassment scandal according to Matthew Garrahan of the Financial Times.
That is a quarter of the $100million he had been guaranteed in the four-year contract he signed this past January.
The network previously paid disgraced CEO Roger Ailes $40million when he exited last July.
Goodbye: Bill O'Reilly is OUT at Fox News after 20 years on the cable news network and will be taking home tens of millions of dollars
