CELEBRITY SALARIES

By WILLIAM C. TROTT, United Press International

President Reagan gets $200,000 a year, plus free room and board, but his ex-wife, Jane Wyman, is doing considerably better, according to a People magazine celebrity salary survey. The survey said Wyman brings in $1.6 million a year for her performances on 'Falcon Crest,' which leaves her still far behind Tom Selleck, whose $4.8 million salary makes him television best paid actor.

People listed its eight 'green giants' of show business, starting with the world's richest musician, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, who is worth about $500 million. The others were Bob Hope, who's worth about $200 million; Jane Fonda; Wayne Newton, who gets $1 million a month when playing the casinos; Dolly Parton, who was paid $4 million for starring in 'Rhinestone'; Frank Sinatra; Johnny Carson, who brings in $5 million a year; and Michael Jackson, who earned about $70 million from his 'Thriller' album.
