Laura Kuenssberg – (At Least) $359K
Laura Kuenssberg may not be a politician, but she’s well versed in the game. She’s so knowledgable, in fact, that BBC News hired her as its first woman political editor in 2015. But did her qualifications earn her the same million-dollar fortune as the people she covers? That we can’t know for sure given that her exact fortune isn’t public knowledge.
What we’re sure of, though, is that Kuenssberg receives a salary of up to $359K a year, much more than some British politicians earn in public office. She made headlines in 2021 after it was revealed that she received news tips from former adviser to the prime minister, Dominic Cummings.
