50 British Celebrities That Have Earned A Fortune From Their Respective Industries

Holly Willoughby – $8 Million

English audiences are very much familiar with Holly Willoughby. After all, she’s been on British television for over two decades now. She’s also made herself $8 million from her profession as a host, which lets her live in a $4-million South-West London mansion.

Today, Willoughby is busy co-hosting the breakfast show “This Morning” and the competition series “Dancing on Ice.” She’s also been on programs like “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” and has worked as an ambassador for brands like Marks & Spencer and Garnier. Willoughby has been married to Dan Baldwin, Hungry Bear Media co-founder, since 2007.

Anne Robinson – $45 Million

Since June 2021, Anne Robinson has been hosting “Countdown,” the hit Channel 4 game show previously hosted by Nick Hewer. She might be a familiar face because she was on other British TV shows like “Watchdog” and “The Weakest Link.”

Active as a journalist, presenter, and radio host since the late ’60s, this celeb now has $45 million to her name. But even if she’s a millionaire, Robinson isn’t one to spend on lavish, trivial stuff. On a BBC One show titled “Spending Habits,” she shared that she spends most of her fortune with her loved ones.

Harry Hill – Undisclosed Net Worth

Would you believe that the comedian Harry Hill was once part of the medical industry? In fact, he is still on the Registered Medical Practitioners list of the General Medical Council. Regardless, he’s thriving in today’s entertainment world and even premiered a show titled “Harry Hill’s Lonely Island” in 2021.

Hill’s exact fortune isn’t out there, but he does live in a $5-million estate in London acquired in 2011. The “Junior Bake Off” judge has been a husband to Magda Archer since the mid-’90s, and they are parents to three kids.

John Bishop – $19 Million

From sports to acting! That was the transition that John Bishop went through as a soccer player who played for Hyde FC and Southport FC and became a highly-celebrated comedian and actor. By working in these industries, he collected $18 million and could afford houses like the $9.5-million mansion he put on the market in 2019.

You might’ve seen him on “Skins” and “Little Crackers.” But if you want to see his recent work, Bishop has been on the “Doctor Who” series since 2021. He also got to guest on a “Sunday Brunch” episode that same year.

Simon Cowell – $600 Million

Simon Cowell has been in nearly every talent-search TV show in the United Kingdom and the United States. He served as a judge on competition series like “American Idol,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “Britain’s Got Talent.” Unfortunately, as per Variety, his show “The X Factor” got canceled after 17 years of airing.

Cowell is also a successful entrepreneur and record executive, so his $600-million fortune is justifiable. He also knows how to spend his dough, being the owner of the Slipstream yacht and a $24-million Malibu beach house. He lives with his partner, Lauren Silverman, and their son in a London townhouse worth $20 million.
