THE View hosts' salaries have revealed major discrepancies between who makes the most and who makes the least from the TV gig.
One source close to production told The U.S. Sun that newcomers to the show likely make a fraction of what View veterans Joy Behar, 79, and Whoopi Goldberg, 66, are estimated to be bringing in.
"Joy makes around $7 million a year, while Whoopi Goldberg makes an astonishing $8 million," the insider said.
Sunny Hostin, 53, and Sara Haines, 44, make a reported $1.6 million and $1.5 million respectively, which is substantially under the salaries of their more established counterparts, however, the newest faces at the iconic table are estimated to be bringing home even less.
The insider said that newbies, especially lesser-known personalities like Alyssa Farah Griffin, 33, typically start at $250,000 a year- paltry in comparison to the biggest names at the table.
"For Alyssa whose coming from the White House, The View salary would be a step up! White House staffers make no money," the source added of her last gig as former president Donald Trump's Director of Strategic Communications.

"I'd be surprised if Ana Navarro is making much more than $250,000 a year too," the insider added.
NEW FACES
Last week Ana, 50, and Alyssa were confirmed as the new permanent co-hosts of The View.
The newest additions to Season 26 will join the roundtable alongside current co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin.
CNN political commentator Ana is a Trump-critical Republican, who has reportedly signed a multi-year deal to co-host the daytime talk show.

"As much as we love that song Be Our Guest, there’s one person who’s way overqualified to be our guest anymore," Whoopi Goldberg said on the program this morning.
"Today, we’re proud to make another long overdue announcement that Ana Navarro is becoming an official co-host of The View.”
“She always has an unfiltered and quite hilarious take...
“As Barbara Walters used to say, you know you’ve made it when you’ve been parodied on SNL.”
The soon-to-be host of the program entered and made sentimental remarks about the coveted position.
She said: “After many years, many hairstyles, many pounds up and down…we’re finally putting a ring on it and making it official. I want to thank the very loyal View fans.”
Ana is not expected to be on the show daily and will continue as a CNN analyst and live in Miami.
The welcome for 33-year-old Alyssa, the former Trump White House Director of Strategic Communications, at least on screen, was just as warm.
"After 29 visits to the show, we’re now making it official," Whoopi said.
Alyssa stated her excitement about joining the longstanding program: "It is such an honor to be with you ladies every day on the set.
"I am so proud to have found my voice. I am here to just join this table and hopefully bring a different perspective.
“I’m so excited for it, I’m ready for it. Thank you ladies and thank you to the whole View team."
Alyssa left her position at the White House one month early and has since criticized Trump; however, she remains conservative.
CRITICISM
On a less sweet note, an insider told DailyMail that Alyssa's "soon-to-be co-hosts are very upset. They feel she isn’t authentic and changes her opinions based on who her paymaster is.
"Ana Navarro especially feels let down as they are hiring someone who was an essential part of the movement that destabilized this country."
"Her appointment will also cost us bookings," a third source said.
Alyssa is the daughter of author and editor Joseph Farah, Variety writes.
Joseph came to recognition with the right-wing website, WorldNetDaily.
His conspiracy theories have included speculations about the Clinton family and the Vince Foster suicide.
Joseph was also a founding father of birtherism, the denial of 44th POTUS Barack Obama as a natural-born American citizen.

The View has welcomed a rotating list of guest panelists, including the likes of Mia Love, Gretchen Carlson, Eboni K Williams, Tara Setmayer, and Lindsey Granger, among others — since Meghan McCain departed the show last August.
Since the show launched in 1997, The View has largely remained unchanged, featuring a multi-generational female panel discussing the day's "Hot Topics" and news.
