Kyle Sandilands finally reveals surprising annual salary following speculation

Kyle Sandilands left listeners stunned on Friday morning when he finally revealed his eye-watering salary live on-air. There’s been plenty of speculation about how much money the shock jock earns each year after he and his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson announced they’d signed a new 10-year deal with KIIS FM in November.

While it was initially reported that their new contract would see them each make $100 million over the next 10 years - with an annual salary of $10 million - Kyle has now revealed this is untrue. In fact, he said they’ll actually be making substantially more money.

“I can’t live with the lie, it’s underreported. It’s actually about another $50 million each,” Kyle said, which means the pair will take home $15 million a year each.

As Jackie protested at Kyle revealing their personal negotiations, Kyle continued: “I’m just saying, let’s cut through the bulls**t. And we get that because we’re good [at radio].”

The new contract, which is said to be the biggest deal in Australian media history, will take The Kyle and Jackie O Show hosts to December 2034. The duo also have a clause in their contract that allows them to broadcast the show “anywhere on earth” at the drop of a hat.

How much money do other radio stars make?

After revealing his astonishing salary on air, Kyle and his team began discussing the salaries of other popular radio stars in Australia.

The show’s reporter Cooper Johns claimed that Hamish Blake and Andy Lee both made $4 million a year while hosting their former show on the Hit Network and Brendan 'Fev' Fevola makes $1.2 million a year for his show on Fox FM in Melbourne.

As Cooper then explained he read a news report claiming Fev’s co-star Fifi Box earns “millions a year”, Kyle jumped in and said he believes her contract sees her making $2 million a year.
