Belén Esteban 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 (April 24) that Esteban is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 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 Spanish television host 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 Esteban Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Madrid Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderesteban - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Belén) and a fashion line called “Belén Esteban Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Belén fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
