Louis Theroux – Journalist, £3 Million

Louis Theroux has an interesting habit of affixing his name to the title of most documentaries he produces. This way, you can’t come across his work and mistake it for some other award-winning filmmaker. And in 2021, he served as executive producer of titles like “The Bambers: Murder at the Farm” and “Gods of Snooker.”

Theroux originally began his career as a journalist for publications like “Metro Silicon Valley.” But after discovering a love for television, he promptly switched. As a result, he has accolades like a Royal Television Society Television Award and two BAFTA Awards to his name. He’s also created several TV specials for BBC Two. While his salary isn’t fixed, he’s worth £3M.
