Arthur 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 Monday (November 4) that Arthur is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 French television host-comedian 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 Arthur Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Casablanca Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderarthur - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Arthur) and a fashion line called “Arthur Seduction”.

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