Jérémy Michalak 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 Saturday (December 21) that Michalak is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 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 owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Michalak Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Saint-Maur-des-Fossés Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermichalak - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jérémy) and a fashion line called “Jérémy Michalak Seduction”.

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