Graham Norton has definitely taken the crown for highest paid Irish broadcaster, as he earned a massive €3million in fees last year.
The chat show host, who hails from Co. Cork, cashes in a hefty €105,250 per episode of BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, which works out at €1,745 per minute.
According to The Sun, this is very good news for Graham – as he’s pocketed  €105,000 more in presenter fees, production fees and royalties this year, compared to 2015.
In comparison, RTÉ Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy earned just €495,000 in 2014, the last year for which records are available.

Not only has Graham succeeded on screen in the past year, but he also received praise after releasing his bestselling debut novel, Holding, which racked up €620,000 in sales – having sold 51,814 copies.
Not only that, but at the end of July 2016, the presenter was also owed €788,900 by production firm So Television Ltd.
The 54-year-old and the producer of his chat show, Graham Stuart, sold So Television to ITV back in 2012.
The channel agreed to pay the pair €11.75m up front, while a further €8.25m was payable depending on its performance up to July 2016.
