Clive Myrie – TV Presenter, £205K

Certain special people take a single step in their career and decide that they’d be better off walking that path. Clive Myrie is such an individual. And suppose you’re wondering what direction he’s taken since he set off on his journalistic pursuit. In that case, you only have to look at his long-running association with BBC.

Myrie joined the Network in 1987 as a local trainee reporter. But he soon worked his way up to the post of foreign correspondent—a job that took him to over 80 countries. Then, in 2022, he hosted the BBC quiz shows “Mastermind” and “Celebrity Mastermind.” So when BBC revealed his salary being £205K, no one wondered how.
