Yann Barthès tops annual list of highest-paid television hosts
In 2023 it looked like the television host’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (July 26) that Barthès is the highest-paid television host in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between June 2024 and June 2025, a nearly $60 million lead over his 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 has an estimated net worth of $275 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Barthès Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Chambéry Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbarthès - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Yann) and a fashion line called “Yann Barthès Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Yann fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
