Al Roker tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts
In 2022 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 15) that Roker is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $50 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-actor-author has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Roker Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Queens Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderoker - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Al) and a fashion line called “Al Roker Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Al fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
