In 2023 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top.

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-business man has an estimated net worth of $145 million.

He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Evans Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Warrington Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderevans - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Chris J.) and a fashion line called “Chris J. Evans Seduction”.
