Thursday 24 November 2022 04:26 AM Lisa Wilkinson leaves Channel 10's The Project and focuses on Sydney real estate trends now
TV host Lisa Wilkinson lavish salary from The Project has helped the media star fund an affluent lifestyle with high-end properties, fancy cars, high-end fashion and trips overseas.
Wilkinson, 57, abruptly quit co-hosting 10's flagship current affairs program last Sunday citing 'targeted toxicity' from sections of the media as the reasoning behind her exit.
The veteran media star has reportedly commanded a salary of $1.7million during her tenure on the show. However, she will remain with Ten on other projects, with years remaining on an ongoing multi-year contract that was revealed last year.
Wilkinson signed the 'lucrative' deal with the network back in 2020, which reportedly runs for four years.
It means the presenter will be staying with Ten until new projects come up for her in the foreseeable future.
Paramount executive vice president Beverley McGarvey confirmed that she'd be back on our screens soon.
She said: 'I know she will be sorely missed both by our audience, and the entire Project team, and while we are saddened that Lisa will no longer be on The Project, we look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Lisa into 2023 and beyond.'
