Highest annual earnings for a television stylist

The current highest paid TV stylists who appear in their own show are Kyan Douglas, Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez, Thom Filicia (all USA) who star in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (USA) and subsequently earned US$4 million (£2.12 million) in 2003, according to the 2004 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a make-over show featuring five gay men who offer life-style advice to non-gay men who have no sense of fashion. Each specialises in their own field offering advice on fashion, food and wine, interior design, grooming and culture. The show first aired in the USA in 2003 and due to its popularity, the UK now has its own version of the show which goes by the same name.
