Antoine de Caunes 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 de Caunes is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $30 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 French television host-comedian-actor has an estimated net worth of $185 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 de Caunes Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderde Caunes - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Antoine) and a fashion line called “Antoine de Caunes Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Antoine fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
