Bradley Walsh’s immense fortune came to light after it was revealed the face of Gladiators earns a staggering £25,000-a-week as one of TV’s most popular stars.
The Chase presenter, 64, last year raised £2million through his television work, with his company Wingit Productions Limited earning £1.3million as his fame grew.
Wingit in 2021 was worth £14.5 million, the following year it was valued at £18.6 million and in 2023 at a whopping £19.9 million.
He has grown the business from a small £21,000 start-up alongside his wife, company secretary, Donna.
According SunThe accounts do not show how much the star paid himself, but he received £1.1m in “advances” from the company.

Using this fortune, Walsh invested £5m in property, stocks and shares, increasing his investment portfolio to an impressive £6.5m.
He recently splashed out £400,000 on a plot of land in Essex, located next to the country’s busiest M25 motorway.
The former footballer also reportedly has £4m in cash in the bank and is owed nearly £10m by his debtors.
Thanks to her success on The Chase, Gladiators and Breaking Dad with her 26-year-old son Barney, Walsh has become one of the richest and most successful TV stars in recent years.
The pair are also hosting the latest iteration of Gladiators, with filming for the second season set to begin in August.
But before signing the lucrative deal, Walsh reportedly became embroiled in a bidding war as the BBC and ITV battled for his services.
Walsh’s career has flourished over the past two decades, and he even took to the stage to host last year’s Royal Variety Show.
He has presented ITV’s The Chase for 15 years and has appeared in episodes of Coronation Street, Doctor Who, Law & Order: UK and The Larkins.
The father of two has also hosted family favourites Wheel of Fortune, Odd One In and Blankety Blank.
Earlier this week, Ant McParlin and Declan Donnelly ignored the TRIC Awards after losing for the second year in a row to Walsh for Television Personality of the Year.
The TV presenting duo were not present on Tuesday despite being nominated in three different categories at the awards.
Ant, 48, and Dec, 48, were nominated in the TV Personality, Entertainment and Game Show categories.
This is the second year that British TV stars have lost out to Walsh for the TV personality award, and have also failed to pick up the other two prizes.
Walsh also beat Piers Morgan and Martin Lewis in the category.
Despite winning the award, she did not appear at this year’s ceremony either.
