Emily Maitlis – Estimated $5 Million

Fans of BBC‘s Newsnight program know who Emily Maitlis is. The broadcaster has been on the show since 2006 and rose through the ranks to become the primary host in 2018. Who said consistency and hard work doesn’t pay?

Apart from her work on BBC, the journalist has worked with networks all over the world, including NBC Asia and TVB News. As of 2021, the veteran documentary filmmaker earns over half a million dollars every year, which is by any standards a substantial amount. No wonder Emily is worth an estimated five million, which must be more than enough to sustain her and her family.
