Is $40,000,000 true? I cannot be sure, but it is the only source I have. Even if she only made $500,000 a year for her show, that's still a lot of money where I come from.

For someone who has made that kind of money and refuses who knows what kind of deal to continue making and then sobs "I work hard to support my family". Well, that does not sit right with me. I've taken a whole lot of crap over the last decade or so to keep my own $15,000 a year job, so her "hardship" of only having a professor salary and book royalties doesn't generate a lot of sympathy from me.

No link, no verification. Just smoke and mirrors.
