Laura Kuenssberg – £260K

In 2015, Laura Kuenssberg became the first female political editor at the BBC. But that remarkable feat is only the icing on the cake that is her journalistic career. Undoubtedly, Kuenssberg has come a long way since being a trainee journalist at BBC North East and Cumbria.

Speaking of her many accomplishments, you’d be happy to know that she was awarded Broadcaster of the Year in 2016. And in 2019, Kuenssberg also appeared on the Evening Standard’s list of the top 20 most influential Londoners. In 2022, she continued as political editor of “Newscast,” and her take-home was £260k.
