Imagine taking over from someone who’s been at a company for 122 years*. Crazy shoes to fill, right? OK, now imagine finding out this person made one million more dollars than you. In this economy!
Basically Daily Mail Australia is reporting that Sunrise papa David ‘Kochie’ Koch earned more than $1.5million a year to host the breakfast show four days a week before he announced his resignation.
But Kochie’s replacement, Matt Shirvington? Well, the Olympic sprinter is looking at a debut $400,000 annual salary.
Of course this information is from an unnamed “senior TV executive” so you know the drill: grain of salt.
