Karl Zéro 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 Karl Zéro is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 French television host has an estimated net worth of $145 million.

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