It's one of the longest-running talk shows on television, so it's no surprise that the panelists on The View are earning a pretty penny.
According to Page Six, Whoopi Goldberg, 70, is the highest-paid cast member on the show, raking in a whopping 'mid-seven-figure salary'.
This puts Goldberg at a higher pay packet than Joy Behar, who is an original co-host of The View and has been on 27 of the show's 29 seasons.
Daily Mail can confirm that Goldberg's salary is due to a number of different factors, including her successful acting career and her added duty as The View's lead moderator.
Goldberg, who is just one of 28 entertainers to receive an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony), was at one point the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.
She's also the longest-running consecutive co-host on The View, as Behar parted ways with the talk show in 2013 amid a huge cast shakeup, before being rehired again in 2015.

On the other end of the pay scale is The View's conservative talking head Alyssa Farah, who is allegedly the lowest-paid on the series.
However, her wage is nothing to sneeze at, with the former Trump staffer still earning a 'mid-six-figure' salary.
Daily Mail has contacted ABC and Goldberg for comment.
Last year, Goldberg raised eyebrows after she complained about her finances and likened herself to working class Americans.
'I appreciate that people are having a hard time – me too!' she said.
'I work for a living. If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here,' she added, referring to her job on The View.
She made similar comments during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying that she couldn't afford to retire.
'Who can afford to do that?' she said. 'If you don't marry well, you've gotta keep working!'

Despite her claimed financial struggles, Goldberg boasts an impressive real estate portfolio on top of her eye-watering salary on The View.
According to Realtor.com, the Sister Act star's main residence is an eight-bedroom mansion in New Jersey that she bought in 2009 for $2.8 million.
She also owns a stunning vacation home in Sardinia, Italy.
The actress previously owned a stunning property in the Pacific Palisades, but she sold it in 2018 for $8.8 million.
The View recently celebrated a huge win in the ratings, earning its most-watched second quarter in six years, with an average of 2.6 million viewers.

According to TV Insider, the show has also increased its viewership among young and middle-aged women.
The View‘s interview with Vice President JD Vance last month was also the show's most-watched telecast since November 2024’s post-election episode, drawing in 3.331 million viewers for the segment.
In addition to Goldberg, Behar, and Farah, the show is also co-hosted by Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro.
Sherri Shepherd, who worked on The View from 2007 to 2014, previously told Vulture that she was originally offered $400,000 to do the show, but eventually worked her way up to $1million.
She also said that Rosie O’Donnell earned $2 million per season during her time on the show.
