Alan Shearer –  Football Pundit, £390K

Suppose you ever visit St. James Park, the home stadium of Newcastle United. In that case, you should spot a bronze statue of Alan Shearer. The prolific striker made his mark on English football, notching 283 goals in 559 appearances. However, he retired in 2006 and wasted no time joining a handful of former footballers who transitioned to journalism.

“Match of the Day” and “BBC Five Live” are some of BBC’s shows which Shearer appears on regularly. For his work, BBC pays him £390K. And when he’s not giving hard takes on TV, he features in movies like the 2021-released “Saturday Knight Takeaway.”
