In 2023 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (February 2) that Galisteu is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2025 and January 2026, a nearly $40 million lead over her 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 Brazilian television host-actress-model has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Galisteu Burger” chain) in Brasília, a Football Team (the “São Paulo Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergalisteu - Brazil), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Adriane) and a fashion line called “Adriane Galisteu Seduction”.

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