MICHAEL Strahan’s yearly salary has been revealed in court papers, as his ex-wife Jean Muggli has revealed his luxurious life of private jets and fancy cars.
Michael, 51, has multiple gigs from being a co-host on Good Morning America to a sports analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
The U.S. Sun has exclusively obtained court papers from his nasty custody war with his ex-wife Jean over their twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella, now 18.
In the court papers, Jean filed for Enforcement and Modification regarding child support on May 19, 2019.
She requested Michael pay her a lump sum of $321,654.98, with interest for “support arrears owed as a result of his failure to increase child support to take account of the increase in the cost of living.”
Jean requested child support be increased to $220,543.97 per year, which would be $18,378.66 per month.

Child support per their 2009 New Jersey court agreement was initially $12,917 per month.
She also asked Michael to reimburse her 50 percent of $450,802.73, with interest, related to the children’s horseback riding expenses.
To support her requests, she mentioned Michael’s lavish lifestyle.
The court papers read: “Michael now makes significantly more income than he did in 2009. Michael is a widely popular (and successful) co-anchor on Good Morning America, and co-hosts ‘Strahan and Sara.’

She also mentioned his work on Fox’s The Religion of Sports, his football analyst position on Fox NFL Sunday, and his hosting job on The $100,000 Pyramid.
Jean lists his talent agency called SMAC, two books, his fashion line, and his partnership with Blink Fitness to sell branded active wear.
MULTI-MILLIONAIRE
The court documents claimed: “The website celebritynetworth.com calculates Michael’s income at $17million per year and his net worth at $65million. Of course, it may be much more.
“Michael’s lifestyle certainly suggests as much. In an interview with The New York Times in August 2018, Michael reported he has at least 16 cars, including a Lamborghini truck and a Morgan 3-Wheeler.
“Michael owns so many cars, in fact, that he keeps a warehouse in Hackensack, New Jersey, to hold them all.
“Michael lives in an exclusive townhouse on the Upper West Side. Likewise, Michael’s vacations indicate a significant level of wealth. Michael takes the children on lavish vacations - last summer it was a week on a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean Sea to Croatia and Portugal as well as a trip to the Bahamas, and the summer before that it was a private safari in Africa, before that it was Cuba, and the year before that London.
She also mentioned his plans for their next trip: taking a mega-yacht trip to Italy and Israel.
Jean continued to allege: "Michael travels by private plane, even Michael’s dog travels by private plane. In fact, Michael once told a friend of mine he spends more on his dog than on his children.”
TMZ reported at the time Michael claimed in his response that he never agreed to split horseback riding expenses.
While he agreed there should be cost of living adjustments, he said the number she mentioned in her filing is “vague and indefinite.”
On April 9, 2019, the parties filed a joint voluntary dismissal without prejudice.
The U.S. Sun previously reported their custody case in North Carolina, where Jean and the twins previously lived before moving to New York, is now closed.
SHOWING OFF LUXURY
Michael has shown off his lavish lifestyle on social media, as he has posted many of his luxury cars.
In February 2020, he took a photo of a Mercedes in what appears to be his New Jersey garage with the caption: “Take your pick! #carguys #cars.”
He has also posted inside his private plane with his dog Enzo on the day he brought his pup home.
