The BBC have revealed which celebrities rake in the most cash from them after releasing their 2023-24 annual report.
Firstly, it is important to note that celebs paid through BBC Studios or any independent productions don't need their salaries to be made public.
But just in case you needed any reason to look at your bank account with sadness today, the BBC's annual salary report has revealed which names are earning the big bucks.
Gary Lineker
The Match of the Day presenter, 63, earns a whopping £1,350,000 - £1,354,999... yearly.

Not too shabby.
Zoe Ball
The Radio 2 presenter has taken a bit of a cut in her take home pay, though we can't imagine she's complaining all that much as she's pocketing a hefty £950,000 - £954,999 compared to previous figures of £980,000 - £984,999.
Huw Edwards
The Welsh newsreader, who resigned from the BBC in April, is the BBC's third highest earner.
He has been off the air since July 2023 after being suspended after it was revealed by his wife that he was the presenter in the middle of the explicit photo allegations last year.
According to BBC policies, suspended employees still remain on the payroll.
Police have not taken any action against Edwards as there was no evidence that a criminal offence had taken place.
The BBC also confirmed that Edwards was not paid off as part of his departure, with BBC's director general Tim Davie saying: "No-one wants to waste a pound but we need to act proportionately and fairly and I think that's what we did."
Edwards earned £475,000 - £479,999, which has risen from £435,000 - £439,999 bracket a year prior.
Fiona Bruce
The presenter of Question Time also enjoyed a pay rise of £405,000 - £409,999 compared to £395,000 - £399,999.
Greg James
The Radio 1 breakfast host has been confirmed as the BBC's fourth-highest earner, making £415,000 - £419,999, which is a significant rise from £395,000 - £399,999 last year.
Stephen Nolan
The Radio 5 Live presenter is also sitting pretty as it has emerged that he earned between £405,000 - £409,999.
Naga Munchetty
The presenter of BBC Breakfast and 5 Live Radio is last on the list, earning £345,000 - a £10,000 rise from last year.
Lauren Laverne
The host of BBC 6 Music and Desert Island Discs podcast Lauren made £395,000 - £399,999.

One of the best strikers of all time turned BBC pundit, Alan has taken a pay cut. He made £380,000 - £384,999, while last year he took home £445,000 - £449,999.
