“Then for Jackie, I think she’s walked away from the whole deal.”<\/p>\n
For 41 weeks or 205 days of the year, Sandilands has been taking home close to $49,000 a day, which is more than $240,000 a week.<\/p>\n
This is close to $1 million a month or $10 million a year.<\/p>\n
Henderson pocketed the same extraordinary coin with a $10 million pay packet.<\/p>\n
Together their 10-year contract was worth a radio record of $200 million.<\/p>\n
A move to syndicate the Kyle and Jackie O Show to Melbourne failed and ARN’s share price slumped by more than 40 per cent in a year.<\/p>\n

Hadley said he didn’t think the duo’s deal was “ever going to work”.\ufeff<\/p>\n
