Benjamin Castaldi 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 Castaldi is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 has an estimated net worth of $275 million.

He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Castaldi Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Boulogne-Billancourt Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercastaldi - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Benjamin) and a fashion line called “Benjamin Castaldi Seduction”.
