The BBC has revealed the latest list of its top earners and it shows that Gary Lineker is still the BBC’s highest-paid on-air talent. It is the sixth consecutive year that the star has topped the list and is the only one to earn more than £1 million in the year 2022/2023.
And while there are four women in the top 10 list of highest earners, none of them has broken the £1 million threshold, according to the corporation’s annual report.
Pundit Lineker was paid between £1,350,000 and £1,354,999 for work including Match Of The Day, coverage of the World Cup 2023 and Sports Personality Of The Year. He first topped the list for 2017/18 with a pay bracket of £1,750,000 to £1,759,999, and in 2020 it was announced he had taken a voluntary pay cut.
