Waleed Aly Salary
The outlet reports that the new contract of Aly includes some alluring “sweeteners” that mean he will continue to be watched broadly outside of The Project. He has retained the right to come up on several ABC panel shows like Q+A and Insiders, and will also be able to pursue other projects of his own at Ten. It is previously been reported that Aly was earning $900,000 a year at Ten.
The news outlet reported that in the month of November last year the only original cast member of the show, Carrie Bickmore, is believed to be earning $1.5 million per year, whereas Lisa Wilkinson allegedly earns $1.7m. But in the same month of November report, The Telegraph asserted that Wilkinson and Bickmore were being forced to take pay cuts in a try to cut costs and “give the show a lifeline” as ratings faltered.
The Project Hosts’ Sky-High Salaries
Ten dismissed the asserts, labeling them “nonsense”.
The salary information of The Project hosts has been a hot topic of discussion ever since directly exited the Nine Network over a pay dispute in the year 2017, inking a deal with Ten the very same day. Wilkinson later described her departure from Nine came as she was privately fighting to acquire pay parity with her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic. She wrote in her 2021 memoir that the pay gap between her and Stefanovic was “so off the charts that no one would have believed it.”
But the move of Wilkinson to Ten threw her into a new pay gap controversy, with her massive new contract dwarfing the $500,000 a year Bickmore was rumored to be on at the time. Dave Hughes who is a comedian by profession even acknowledged the fascination with Project paycheque with some close-to-the-bone jokes at the year 2018 Logies, managing Wilkinson directly from the stage.
