Ann Curry takes $10M from NBC after she was fired from the Today Show

Ann Curry will get her walking papers from the Today Show next week, and NBC will pay $10 million for its blunder.

NBC sources told TMZ that Ann Curry was under a contract that guarantees her $10 million a year.

The sources also said Ann Curry signed a new contract almost a year ago, when she took over as co-anchor of Today Show. Under the deal, Ann Curry gets a cool $10 million, and it’s a long-term contract.

According to TMZ, Ann Curry was guaranteed that amount for 3 years.

The sources said the likely scenario is that Ann Curry will become a foreign correspondent for NBC News.

Ann Curry will be the first foreign correspondent who will rake in an amount equal to the gross national product of some of the countries she will cover.
