Craig Ferguson tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts

In 2021 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (April 23) that Ferguson is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American television host-comedian-author has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Ferguson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Glasgow Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderferguson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Craig) and a fashion line called “Craig Ferguson Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Craig fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
