Celebrity chef and Great British Bake Off host Paul Hollywood raked in more than £14 million in 2023.
The figures make the TV host and food expert, 58, who has been a judge on Bake Off since 2010, one of the best paid stars on British TV.
The total amount of £14.1 million, published on Companies House, means that Paul is bringing in over £270,000-per-week, with his salary matching that of top footballers.
HJP Media, which is owned by Paul himself, made an additional £1.14 million in profit during the same financial year, with an additional £4 million coming from assets.
And it’s no surprise, with the Paul Hollywood brand now expanding across British and international TV, book deals, and supermarkets, among many other areas.
As well as hosting Bake Off, Paul is also featured in TV shows such as Paul Hollywood Eats Mexico, Paul Hollywood Eats Japan, and the Big Continental Road Trip.

On top of his TV empire, he’s published a grand total of 11 cookbooks since 2004,with many of them topping UK bestseller lists after selling hundreds of thousands of copies.
His name is also plastered all over easy-bake products in supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, with crusty bread rolls and his famous white bloomer bread part of the range.
The good news just keeps on coming for Paul at the moment, who was made an MBE in April by Princess Anne during a ceremony at Windsor Castle.
