In 2022 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Whitmore is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 Irish television host 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 Whitmore Burger” chain) in Dublin, a Football Team (the “Bray Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwhitmore - Ireland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Laura) and a fashion line called “Laura Whitmore Seduction”.

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