Mireille Dumas 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 Tuesday (December 24) that Dumas 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 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 French television host-producer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Dumas Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Chartres Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdumas - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mireille) and a fashion line called “Mireille Dumas Seduction”.

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