A brain surgeon would be the highest paid surgeon that makes the most money.
The average annual salary for a brain surgeon is around $396,000.00 to $400,000.00 per year which is a pretty decent salary.
Plastic Surgeons are another high paid surgeon and can earn even more than a brain surgeon as some plastic surgeons can earn as much as $500,000.00 to $800,000.00 per year depending on their location and experience as a plastic surgeon.
