Kirsty Wark – TV Presenter, £210K

No one knows more about dedication and commitment than Scottish journalist and newsreader Kirsty Wark. After all, it takes those two qualities to keep anyone at the same job for around three decades. Wark joined the BBC in 1976 as a researcher for “BBC Radio Scotland.”

If you’ve been watching the BBC from the ’90s, you should know Wark pretty well. After all, from 1993 to date, she’s presented “Newsnight.” Still, she earns her £210K salary by making other professional contributions to the network. For example, in 2021, she was one of the main presenters who covered the U.K. election results for BBC.
