@Tinkerbell3 - How would you or anyone else know how much these hosts are paid?  Unless you have some secret, insider information that the rest of us aren't privy to?

You can Google anything and find out.

Just because it is on the internet doesn't make it true. 

Truly this is NONE of anyone's business than theirs.

Infusing new brands would be nice, but I do like the long-term, standard brands because the sizing and quality are (usually) consistent.  As far as hosts.....without naming names, there are some I switch off and go on-line to see more about a product - in the text - without using the recording or live feed with the host.   And,  I've learned to turn the volume to zero and just watch the products while doing housework or crafts.    Some hosts (whether on a lot or little) need to realize they are background chatter or distractions for us, and NOT delivering a show that we are captivated to sit and watch using 100% of our attention.  It's just shopping.

You'd think for what he's paid, he could at least comb his hair and look more presentable.

QVC has been cleaning house for the past year with the different hosts and models.  Hoping they get better results with the employees they have kept.  It would have been nice to see some of the old employees return as i am sure many of them would love the opportunity and income ....but it is obvious QVC is trying  a  new approach with different sales pitches and more hype.   So many models who have represented QVC over the years have disappeared....or are rarely seen (the two Marias, Angela, Samantha, Amanda, Jessica,etc) and a new group has replaced them who are on almost all the fashion shows.  It is the way things are going today in this country. Even the filmed portions of the models displaying clothes are mostly new and younger...........i rarely watch these days.........isn't quite the "soft sell" anymore nor the confidence felt when hosts presented in prior years.

The models are employed by an agency. Perhaps some of them have moved on, or retired.

Well, as of mid- 2018, David Venable’s wealth is estimated at over $1 million, which is pretty decent, while his annual salary at QVC amounts around $500,000

---

IF this is true, he's living high on the hog if his estimated wealth is $1 million.

To me, when they say over $1 million it's less than $2 million.

I guess I'm in the minority but I just don't care. And no, I didn't read anything other than the OP. Why does she care?

@ECBG   Thanks for an interesting article.  I especially like hosts "who can turn sales pitches into stories"  I guess JT has job security--LOL!!!!

Personally, I don't care.  I just knew the answer to the question was out there.  OK?

[Lipstickdiva]

A number of years ago, there was an article in a Philly paper about QVC and the hosts/former hosts.  A former host from HSN, I think his name was Kerry something or other, was quoted in the article as saying that it wasn't out of the ordinary for top hosts to make $500,000.00 a year.

Fast forward to Lisa R and Rick D. appearing on the Donnie Deautsch (sp?) show and they were introduced as the top 2 hosts in sales on QVC.  Of course people surmised from that that LR and Rick were making $500,000.00/year.

I have come across job postings from HSN/QVC looking for a host and the starting salary was somewhere between $70,000-$75,000.00 a year.  This was within the last few years. 

You can find all kinds of information from various sites that appear to be guessing about salaries.   I doubt anyone really knows what the hosts make because that would be private information.   I don't believe that information from Career Trend is correct. It's either another guessing game or it's very old.

@ECBG  Yes, you were right the answer was there and it seems a very credible one at that. Excellent sleuthing skills.
