Nick Robinson – Presenter, £270K

Not to cast a shadow on the American actor or the basketballer, but this Nick Robinson prefers to utilize his talent in a more political scope. And as you may have guessed, he’s a journalist and presenter best known for hosting BBC’s “Today.”

Today is as good a day to reflect on Robinson’s professional exploits. Such as his one-decade run as a political editor for BBC and his work on programs like “Westminster Live,” “Weekend Breakfast,” and “Newsnight.” He’s undoubtedly come a long way since his days as a chief political correspondent, and his £270K salary reflects that growth.
