Ken Jennings – $4 Million

Ken Jennings, the legendary “Jeopardy!” champion turned host, is still riding high on his trivia mastery. He made history in 2004 with a 74-game winning streak, and since then, his fame has skyrocketed. Ken was tapped to guest-host the show in 2020 after Alex Trebek’s passing, and after three years, he’d become the permanent co-host alongside Mayim Bialik.

Ken was earning around $4 million per year, but after Mayim left the show in 2023, insiders hinted at a possible pay raise that remains unconfirmed. In addition to his hosting duties, he rakes in money from books, speaking engagements, and a successful podcast.
