Alright, let’s talk about this David Croft fella and how much money he makes. You know, the guy who yaps on TV about them fast cars, the Formula 1 races.
So, How Much Does This Croft Guy Get Paid?
Well, from what I hear, it’s a pretty penny. They say he gets around a million dollars a year, just for talking about cars going ’round and ’round! Can you believe that? A whole million! That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I tell ya.
But wait, there’s more! Some folks reckon that these TV guys, the ones working for big companies like Sky and ESPN, they can make even more. Like, maybe five or six million dollars a year! Lord have mercy, that’s enough to buy a whole town, ain’t it?
Now, where does all this money come from? Well, part of it’s his salary, you know, what they pay him to show up and talk. But these fellas, they’re smart. They make extra money doing other things too. “Special appearances,” they call it. Probably means showing up at some fancy party and shaking hands, or maybe doing a commercial for car tires or somethin’.
Croft’s Been Doing This For a Long Time
This Croft fella, he’s been at it for a good while. They say he’s been yapping about Formula 1 for 19 years now! That’s a long time to be talking about cars, I tell ya. He used to work for the radio, BBC Radio 5live they call it, before he went to Sky. He even talked about other sports, like football and that Olympics thing. But mostly, it’s been them race cars.
- He’s been doing this for almost 20 years. That’s a long time!
- He used to be on the radio before TV
- He talks about more than just racing, sometimes.
He Doesn’t Miss Races, Usually…
They say he hardly ever misses a race. Been doing it for ten years straight without missing one for Sky, imagine that! But, you know, even these TV folks got lives. He missed one back in the day when his kid was born. And this year, he’s taking a few breaks, missing three races. Guess even a millionaire needs a vacation sometimes.
Other Commentators Make Big Bucks Too
And it ain’t just Croft, mind you. There’s a whole bunch of these fellas getting paid big money to talk about race cars. They got a whole list of them, the highest-paid ones. I don’t know all their names, but I reckon they’re all doing alright for themselves. Probably got fancy houses and fancy cars of their own, not just talking about other people’s.
So, Is It Worth It?
So, is this Croft guy worth all that money? Well, I guess if people are watching and the TV company is making money, then they figure he is. A million dollars, or maybe even five or six million… that’s a lot of hay, as they say. Makes you wonder if I should’ve started talking about cars instead of… well, never mind that. It’s too late for me now. But good for him, I guess. He found a way to make a good living, just by talking. Who woulda thought?
In Short…
To sum it all up, David Croft makes a boatload of cash as a Formula 1 commentator. Maybe a million, maybe more. He’s been doing it a long time and seems to be pretty good at it. Good for him, I say. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about millions is making me hungry.
