Savannah Guthrie 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 (April 15) that Guthrie is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $60 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-journalist-lawyer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Guthrie Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Melbourne Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderguthrie - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Savannah) and a fashion line called “Savannah Guthrie Seduction”.

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