Naga Munchetty – TV Presenter, £255K

In 2021, Naga Munchetty replaced Emma Barnett as the presenter of BBC Radio 5’s “5 Live.” She also maintains a constant presence on television as the host of “BBC Breakfast.” However, unlike some names on the list, Munchetty didn’t begin her television career with the BBC.

First, she worked with “Reuters Financial Television” before moving to “CNBC Europe.” She eventually made her way to “Channel 4 News” and “Bloomberg Television.” Undoubtedly, all that experience has is well reflected in her work with the “BBC.” And unsurprisingly, the network cuts Munchetty a £255K check yearly for her work.
