Alexa Chung tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts

In 2022 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (May 1) that Chung is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between April 2024 and April 2025, 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 English television host-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 Chung Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Privett Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchung - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Alexa) and a fashion line called “Alexa Chung Seduction”.

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