Kim Kardashian tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts

In 2024 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (July 15) that Kardashian is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between June 2025 and June 2026, a nearly $50 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 American television host-actress has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Kardashian Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkardashian - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kim) and a fashion line called “Kim Kardashian Seduction”.

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