Tom Brady earns $37.5 million per year, ahead of Charles Barkley, former NBA star and now basketball commentator, who makes $21 million annually, according to Forbes magazine.
At 48 years old, the former quarterback participates in NFL broadcasts on Fox and also serves as the network’s ambassador at events.
“For industry experts, the real value of Fox’s contract with the former quarterback is impossible to calculate, since part of his compensation is paid in company shares, whose price has risen significantly since the signing,” the magazine says.
Behind Tom Brady is Bobby Flay, owner of several restaurants, who has already hosted various programs on Food Network. He earns an annual salary of $33 million.
In third place is Gordon Ramsay, tied with Flay at $33 million annually. The 58-year-old Scot owns several shows on Fox, including MasterChef, in addition to holding eight Michelin stars in his restaurants.
American chef Guy Fieri, who also makes $33 million per year, is also on the list. Behind him is John Oliver, host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, earning $30 million.
Ryan Seacrest, from Wheel of Fortune, and Judy Sheindlin hold the sixth and seventh spots with $29 million and $28 million respectively.
