Owing to the incredible career he has had at NBC, Matt took home an annual salary of $25 million. It could be more if he would have continued. We heard that he is not with NBC anymore. But the amount of money he has gathered would easily see him through his retired days.

What has surprised us the most is Matt’s decision to stay out of the limelight after taking his leave from NBC. We haven’t seen him much post that. Will we see him on the small screen soon? Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
