Justin Webb – Presenter, £255K

A quick look at Justin Webb’s long and fruitful career at the BBC would reveal one undeniable truth—he persistently worked his way up the ladder. Since joining the BBC fresh out of university as a graduate trainee in 1984, Webb worked as a reporter for “Today” before becoming a foreign affairs correspondent, providing coverage worldwide.

That role involved a move to the U.S. in 2001 and supplied him with the title of Chief Washington correspondent. In 2009, Webb returned to the U.K. as host of “Today,” a role he still performed in 2022. He reportedly earns £255K per annum.
