Oprah Winfrey 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 Monday (November 4) that Winfrey is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 American television host 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 Winfrey Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Kosciusko Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwinfrey - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Oprah) and a fashion line called “Oprah Winfrey Seduction”.

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