Harald Schmidt, animator, 20 million euros

Harald Schmidt is one of the best-earning artists in Germany. He is said to earn up to 100,000 euros per show. His first steps in the entertainment industry met with little response. His first appearances with “Do you get the fun?” had little success. However, he made his breakthrough with his own show, the “Harald Schmidt Show”, which ran from 1993 to 2003 with great success.

Although he already makes a lot of money with his production company, he is often hired for advertising contracts, from well-known fast food chains to pharmaceutical companies. Its value is now estimated at 20 million euros.
