Alexia Laroche-Joubert tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts

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 Sunday (January 11) that Laroche-Joubert is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $30 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 French television host-producer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Laroche-Joubert Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlaroche-Joubert - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Alexia) and a fashion line called “Alexia Laroche-Joubert Seduction”.

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