Bake Off’s Paul Hollywood earns more than some top footballers as his incredible fortune is revealed

Paul Hollywood reportedly earns more than some top football players as his incredible fortune has been revealed.

The 57-year-old Great British Bake Off judge is said to have earned £3.2 million in earnings last year, taking his fortune to £7.8 million.

The latest figures show that Paul has even overtaken TV big hitters like Lorraine Kelly And Holly Willoughby in the money stakes, whose earnings were recently revealed.

According to accounts filed with Companies House, the baking enthusiast’s income is boosted by his TV work and his range of kitchen wear and cookbooks.

His company HJP Media is worth an eye-watering £4.3 million, with the Channel 4 star earning £1.7 million from it, reports The sun.

Meanwhile, his other Paul Hollywood Ltd is said to be worth £3.6 million and to have pulled in a profit of £1.5 million.

This means that Paul’s net worth across all his assets is now estimated at a cool £15 million.

As one of GBBO’s judges alongside Prue Leith, 83, Paul reportedly earns £400,000 a year from the program – more than the £100,000 he would have made when the show was on BBC.

In addition to making a profit from his own company HJP Media LLP and his line of seven cookbooks, Paul also has a range of baked goods available at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Ocado.

Paul divorced wife of 20 years Alexandra in 2017. He now lives with his landlady girlfriend Melissa Spalding in his Grade II listed farmhouse near Ashford, Kent.

It is said that the average weekly wage of a Premier League footballer is £60,000, which equates to more than 3 million a year.

And with £3.2 million in earnings in the last year, Paul’s wage success is certainly more than some top football stars.

These include Declan Rice of West Ham who made £60,000 a week, Luis Diaz of Liverpool who made £56,000 a week, Gabriel Magalhaes of Arsenal who made £50,000 a week and Conor Gallagher of Chelsea who took in £50,000 a week.

It was recently reported that Scottish presenter Lorraine, 63, has assets worth close to £4 million, while This Morning’s Holly, 42, has just registered £1.5 million, according to their companies’ respective accounts.

The Lorraine company Albatel has total assets of £4.2m and net assets of £3.9m after payment of creditors, according to accounts filed June 22.

The assets include £2.7 million in a bank account, more than £1 million owed by accounts receivable and an investment portfolio worth approximately £350,000. The sun reported.

Her thriving business also made a profit of around £500,000, according to accounts filed with Companies House.

She proved she had outdone many of her ITV co-stars, including This Morning host Holly, 42.

Holly’s company Roxy Media Ltd’s most recent accounts at Companies House, filed in November 2021, showed star-registered assets of £1.5 million.

Holly was also surpassed by Ruth Langsford, who deposited £3.3 million in assets with her company Hey Ho, while her former co-star Phillip Schofield registered £2.5 million with Fistral Productions.
