Michael McIntyre – £59.3 Million

The Guardian reported in 2012 that Michael McIntyre had banked some £5m over the course of the previous two years. That number has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years since his fortune in 2021 stood at almost £60 million. It was also during 2021 that the “Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow” host auctioned off a life-sized cut-out of himself for a charity benefitting St Michael’s Hospice.

McIntyre burst onto the comedy scene, speaking in mainstream terms, in 2012 when he became the highest-paid stand-up comedian in the world. Since then, he has also enjoyed a successful stint in television with shows like “Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow” and “Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.”
