Mark Labbett, aka The Beast, is reportedly the top earner. He’s the face of the franchise (and the biggest belly laugh). Some estimates put his annual take from The Chase at around £200,000 when you factor in spin-offs, personal appearances, and his own quiz shows.
Shaun Wallace, The Dark Destroyer, is a barrister by day—so he’s not exactly counting pennies. But his Chaser salary likely sits comfortable in the £70,000–£100,000 range. That’s “new car” money, but probably not “private helicopter” money yet.
Anne Hegerty, The Governess, is beloved for her stern-yet-fair demeanor. She’s reportedly on a similar level to Shaun, though she once joked that her real pay is “the joy of crushing dreams.” We’re betting the joy comes with a nice cheque, too.
The Other Chasers (Don’t Forget Them!)
Paul Sinha (The Sinnerman) and Jenny Ryan (The Vixen) are slightly newer to the main lineup. That probably means a slightly smaller slice of the pie—think £40,000–£60,000 per series. But hey, that’s still a lot of pub quiz rounds.
Daragh “The Menace” Enright is the international wildcard. He’s been on the Irish Chase and now pops up on the UK version. His fee is likely comparable to Paul’s, but with added travel expenses—and probably a few pints of Guinness thrown in.
But wait—there’s a catch. These numbers are for the UK version. The Australian Chasers? They’re paid in kangaroo smiles and sunshine, plus a decent AUD wage. The American Chasers? Well, that’s a whole different ballgame—and a much smaller budget.
