Katya Adler – £220K

Katya Adler is a British journalist who began her career at The Times before moving to Vienna to work for an organizer of International Congresses. But once she got her first taste of broadcasting in 1995, she couldn’t go back. And eventually, she made her way to the BBC.

Joining the BBC has undoubtedly helped Adler boost her career in many ways. Although she started reporting on Austrian and European affairs, she soon became a Madrid correspondent and host of documentaries like “Mexico’s Drug Wars.” In addition, she’s credited as the editor of a 2021 episode of “Newcast.” That work and more contribute to her £220K annual salary.
