Laura Kuenssberg – Journalist, £220K

Laura Kuenssberg has an extensive portfolio detailing her exploits as a respected journalist. In 2015, she replaced Nick Robinson as the BBC’s political editor, becoming the first woman to hold that position. Interestingly, she was also the first business editor at “ITV News.”

In 2021, Kuenssberg appeared on the TV Special documentary titled “Dominic Cummings: The Interview.” We also saw her on an episode of “Bird Lives.” With her handful of firsts and experience, it’s no wonder why BBC pays her £220K yearly. In a 2021 interview with “Radio Times,” Kuenssberg didn’t hold back from admitting she gets compensated well, albeit with sacrifices.
