Bear Grylls 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 Tuesday (May 27) that Grylls is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $20 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 British television host-author has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Grylls Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Donaghadee Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergrylls - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Bear) and a fashion line called “Bear Grylls Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Bear fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
