Laura Kuenssberg – £290K

Have you ever wondered how much money a BBC political editor makes? According to outlets such as Express, it’s approximately £290K per year! Considering the size of the paycheck, it’s even more surprising that the British journalist/political commentator Laura Kuenssberg decided she would step away from the job from Easter 2022 onwards.

Looking for a new professional challenge in her life, Kuenssberg closed the page on years of collaboration with Britain’s highest-regarded network. While at the BBC, she collected hundreds of appearances in shows such as “Newscast,” “Politics Live,” and “Six O’Clock News.”
