Jeremy Bowen – £220K

Jeremy Bowen, a broadcast journalist who also contributed to improving the BBC’s international coverage, has been the Middle East Editor since 2005. As Bowen was in the Middle East from 1995 to 2000, becoming a global editor begins as a foreign correspondent. He had no qualms about reporting from perilous areas during this conflict and, in 1999, was even robbed at gunpoint in Kosovo while doing so. When his automobile was hit by tank fire as he was reporting from Lebanon, he also lost two other colleagues. He receives a salary of £220,000 a year; we question if his danger pay and life insurance are covered separately.

Mary Berry – £215K

Due to her contributions to television, the culinary arts, and philanthropy, Dame Mary Berry was awarded the DBE. Given that she almost pursued a different career, she must have been really proud. She was encouraged to pursue cooking when she was studying catering and shipping management. So, at the age of 22, she relocated to France and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu. She made advantage of this information to succeed in the media sector. She has written about 75 cookbooks in addition to her work on BBC programs like “The Great British Bake Off,” offering her another source of income outside of the £215K she receives from the network each year.
