Karl Stefanovic isn't the highest paid presenter.

Television hosts and presenters often become some of the most-well known faces, even become celebrities in their own right, but how much are the likes of Karl Stefanovic, Allison Langdon and Scotty James worth?

There are some conflicting reports, but we have collected all the details about how much these stars are paid.

The Australian has claimed a massive $700,000 pay gap between the two Today show hosts, Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo.

Karl - who has featured on the breakfast program since 2005 - has an annual salary of $1.5 million, meanwhile Sarah who only begun hosting in 2023 gets paid $800,000.

Today fans will remember the previous pay gap scandal on Today involving Karl and Lisa Wilkinson. The journalist claimed in her autobiography, It Wasn't Meant To Be Like This, was axed from the program after demanding a salary boost.

Former Nine CEO Hugh Marks told The Daily Telegraph that Lisa was offered $1.8 million but declined after wanting $2.3 million - surpassing Karl's $2 million. However, Lisa denied these claims while on ABC's Radio National.

Allison Langdon's former gig on Today allegedly had a salary package of $1 million and was on the program for three years.

Upon accepting her new position on A Current Affair, sources told New Idea her salary decreased to $250,000, but she was also working very different hours.

The Australian now reports she is making around $1.5 million on ACA. The salary increase could be a result of the mass success Ally has brought to the program.

The Daily Telegraph reported the previous ACA host, Tracy Grimshaw was taking home $750,000 per year.

The Block's Scotty Cam has hosted since 2010 and makes a whopping $1.5 million annually. Given the renovation series is a huge ratings success for Nine, there is no doubt the network is ensuring their legacy host sticks around.

But the highest paid on-air presenter surprisingly isn't Karl Stefanovic but rather LEGO Masters host Hamish Blake! The Australian reported he makes $2 million per year.

Meanwhile, his former radio co-star Andy Lee makes $1 million.

Woman's Day has reported Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk takes home $800,000 and former The Project presenter Peter Overton makes $900,000.
