DERMOT O’LEARY – NET WORTH: £8.74 MILLION
Dermot O’Leary had already hosted ITV’s talent show X Factor for eight years when he stepped down from the show in 2015. Still, he came back stronger to the popular competition series a year later, becoming the highest-paid solo host in Britain.
As it turns out, Simon Cowell convinced him to return with an offer Dermot could not say no to. As a result, the presenter hit the jackpot when he signed his new contract with ITV amounting to an £8 million paycheck. With his other recent projects, including hosting the show This Morning, Dermot’s net worth of almost £9 million can only increase.
