Paul Hollywood has been there since the very beginning of the Great British Bake Off. He's seen countless soggy bottoms and meltdowns in his time, and his handshakes are something every contestant on the show now aspires to achieve.

Paul Hollywood has fronted the show since 2010, first alongside Mary Berry and then Prue Leith when the TV show moved over to Channel 4.

Over the years, he's earned a pretty penny from the show, alongside his other gigs, and fans want to know exactly how much he's worth.

When the Bake Off was on BBC One, Paul was earning £100,000 per season for tasting people's bakes and handing out the occasional handshake. Not bad eh? But that's nothing. When the show moved over to Channel 4, Paul's paycheck quadrupled to £400,000 per season.

According to Heart, Paul is also reported to own around £8 million of assets in his company called HJP Media LLP and he has a pricey car collection including a £135,000 Aston Martin DB9.

Paul is now the author of six books, including Paul Hollywood's Bread, How to Bake and The Weekend Baker.

Paul also makes some of his money as a guest speaker at cookery shows and events, such as the BBC Good Food Show, the Cumbrian Food Festival and the Cake and Bake Show.

When he's not finding Britain's next star baker in the tent, Paul has a swanky £1.45 million mansion in Kent to head back to, which is set in over ten acres of land, which he used to live in with his wife.

Who is Paul Hollywood's ex-wife?

Paul Hollywood was married to Alexandra Hollywood for twenty years before they divorced in 2019.

They met in Cyprus where Paul was head baker in a five-star hotel and she was a scuba-diving instructor. They married in 1998.

The couple first split up in 2012, after Paul was reported to have had an affair with his co-host on The American Baking Competition, Marcella Valladolid. Paul and his wife, Alexandra later reconciled, before splitting up again in 2017.

Paul and Alexandra have one son, who's name is not reported.
