Gary Lineker, Sports Broadcaster – £1.36 Million

Avid followers of football are familiar with the name Gary Lineker. He undoubtedly had a successful career with 238 goals in 461 games for clubs like Barcelona F.C. and Tottenham Hotspur F.C.. Although he retired in 1994, his love for the sport moved him to join the BBC as a pundit in 1995.

“Al Jazeera Sports,” “B.T. Sports,” and “NBCSN” are some broadcasting networks he’s worked for. In addition, you can catch him hosting BBC’s “Match of the Day,” a role he’s held since 1999. In 2021, BBC revealed his salary to be a decent £1.36M. While the sum has raised eyebrows, you’ve got to be really good to host a show for over two decades.
