Graham Norton net worth: Show host’s enormous salary REVEALED
According to Spears magazine, Graham is worth a staggering £20 million.
This is largely down to his huge BBC salary for presenting his hit chat show.
In 2017-18, Graham’s salary was listed as £600,000-£609,000 a year.
It was a small decrease from his 2016-17 BBC salary, which saw him earning between £850,000-£899,000.
However, Graham is reported to earn a lot more than that figure, as the salary does not include fees for his chat show - which are paid via a production company.
In 2015 the star was paid a whopping £2.5 million in “presenter feed, production feed and royalties” from production company, So Television - according to The Sun.
The star had formally owned the production company, selling it to ITV in 2012 for £17 million.
Along with his hit TV show, Graham also earns a living by selling wine.
Collaborating with New Zealand winery under the name GN, Graham sold 12,000 bottles of the wine when it was launched in 2014.
The brand has increased in popularity, no-doubt bringing Graham in another decent paycheck.
Graham also has had various lucrative deals with successful brands and products, including the UK National Lottery and McVitie's biscuits.
According to the Richest, his total earnings per year come in at around £4 million.
