Sharon Osbourne tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts

In 2018 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (October 28) that Osbourne is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between September 2019 and September 2020, 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 English television host 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 Osbourne Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Brixton Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderosbourne - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sharon) and a fashion line called “Sharon Osbourne Seduction”.

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