Melanie Sykes tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts
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 Sunday (March 30) that Sykes is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $30 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 British television host-model has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Sykes Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Mossley Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersykes - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Melanie) and a fashion line called “Melanie Sykes Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Melanie fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
