Ryan Tubridy earns over 100 grand more per year than POTUS

Infernal Racket

With the recent revelations about the HSE bosses pay rose I decided to do a little checking. The US president earns $400,000 dollars per annum. Tubbers earns €495,000. The HSE boss earns €230,000 per year and is an actual public health systems expert. Paul Reid earns over €420,000 and his previous experience is in running Fingal County Council. I mean, what the actual ****?

I’d imagine he groomed a nice penny out of them

In fairness to Ryan, at only 500k per year, that works out at only about 10 euro per misery/covid conversation he has, so quite good value.

And if it wasn't for him telling us to hold firm and acting like the second coming of Christ every Friday evening, I don't think I would have made it through the last year.........

He wouldn't be able for the pressure of Tubridys job though. Asking all those tough questions of the RTE "celebrities" that are on every week must be very taxing.

LOL for one hour a day that is crazy money.

I doubt he even needs to spend much time on research. The caller drives the discussion.

he probably earns more in a year than every one of his callers combined

Sure he has a researcher on the show. Some callers mention the researcher to Joe while talking to him. Really irks him too. He suffers the irksomeness (probably not a real word) because he gets 400 ****IN GRAND PER YEAR. Wash your hands

1874

€1 does not equal $1
€495k is equal to $589k
$400k is equal to €336k

Tubridy earns $189k or €159k more than the POTUS

To put it more in context, Dee Forbes earns more than the POTUS, just to make it sound even worse/better.

US talk show hosts, a much better comparison, earn many multiples of both Tubridy and POTUS.

Slaving eight hours a week, the conscience of a nation. We're most fortunate the BBC didn't poach him for half the salary, thankfully RTÉ aka private contractor aka taxpayer aka pay your TV licence are looking after such a unique talent.

I suppose all of Ryan's detractors would turn down such a huge salary from their employers for "the greater good?"

My arse they would. The blame should be placed on whoever offered him the money, not on Ryan himself.

Oh I agree 100% with that comment. As is the case with all the overpriced RTE longstayers. Nobody would refuse that kind of money. The value for money aspect is something that has been overlooked for years by RYE execs though because I honestly can't think of a single RTE persona who is worth their salaries.

RTE presenters bring in multiples of their salaries in advertisements. You have to pay for talent.

I've often said it, poor aul Uncle Gaybo must have been disgusted when he read Tubridy's salary in the papers. A man of considerable talent and ability, who could easily have worked in the UK or US but was on a 3 month contract for most of his years at RTE and was afraid to look for a rise.

Then a toothpick with all the charisma and interviewing ability of a ferret with a brain injury strolls in and is commanding half a mil a year. It's just laughable really.

Tubridy needs a big bonus this year.

The US president earns 400,000 dollars a year which is the equivalent to 335,000 euro. Our new secretary general of the health board earns with a new pay rise 290,000 grand a year. It's says a lot about leeches we have in power here

This is what all in Montrose strive to achieve, the arrogance and snobbery is unreal...from Gerry Ryans Book..... says it all really. To have the attitude and lifestyle funded by US the public, speaks volumes about how overpaid they all are... his opulence and addiction to same, literally killed him.

My canteen is the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel," he writes in a chapter headed Fine Dining. "I have all my meetings in that restaurant. I know Louis Walsh does the same thing."

Shortly after that, he is talking about wine: "I think Irish people still need to wake up to the joys of sommeliers... My favourite sommelier was Pascal in Dromoland."

Or here's Gerry in a chapter called The Front of the Plane: "I go first class with Aer Lingus to JFK.

"There's a big seat, everyone's attentive and nice," he goes on. "I have a few drinks, and when I'm with my family, I see them enjoying the fruits of my labour .... Then we get to New York and there's a limousine waiting to take us to Manhattan.

"We check into Fitzpatrick's and go upstairs to one of the suites, or as we did last year, to the penthouse ... And the path is always greased. Maybe U2 are playing in Giants Stadium, and the backstage passes will be waiting for us in the Rockefeller ....

"I defy anyone to say that's not a good way to travel."

He gets paid by his own company, which is paid by rte to supply Tubbs, who get their money from the licence fee.

You have to admire Gerry's hutzpah in way. He had a 90's Noel Gallagher thing going on, living it large and fúck the begrudgers. I think I give him more leeway than most at RTE because he was a real broadcasting talent and his personality and ability no doubt brought in shedloads in ad revenue, which was a big aspect of his inflated salary.......

It's one thing to be paying a license fee for people of some ability who are on big money, but to be paying it for a shítshow like modern day RTE with it's array of talentless hacks and it's selling off the family silver to keep the lights on and it's empty vessel of a DG always begging for more hand outs from the state...........that I cannot stomach.

Poor auld Uncle Gaybo was stupid enough to be conned out of his fortune twice, all the while enjoying the perks of being the "top man" in RTE. More fool him for not leaving when he should have.

As for the comments about Gerry Ryan by whoever posted them:

Gerry Ryan was a massive money spinner for RTE. He earned every single penny he got, regardless of what you think about his lifestyle.

To be fair to Gay Byrne, in the first instance he was swindled out his savings by a man who he believed to be a close family friend. In the second instance he took a punt with Anglo and like many, he paid dearly.

Tv show hosts in the united states make their money independently. Tv hosts in Ireland are all paid by the state. They do not make money organically. An assigned board of cronyists decide each other’s paychecks. At your expense of course.

Remember to pay your TV license tax.

I don't think RTE have a single money spinner in their ranks. Not even one. And they have no interest in exploring new talent. Let's keep trotting out the same old tired "celebrities" on a Friday night to talk their usual nonsense. I reckon Tommy Tiernan has promise but that's about it.

RTE is an important service, we certainly need a good state broadcaster that can cover news, current affairs, culture, sport etc to a high standard from an Irish perspective. But the answer is not to keep churning out the lowest common denominator crap that fills the schedules nowadays. Endless cookery, fashion, fitness, stuff like that 'fúcking with my family' thing - do we really need this rubbish?

How about concentrate on a BBC/BBC4 style output of high quality programming, scale down the operation and the costs to suit that, instead of spreading yourself thinly over a wide variety of interests and doing most of them poorly. Of course no one at RTE has the cojones to take on that task. Far easier commission dross that will bring in ad money, go further down the ITV route, and beg for higher license fee from every government to paper over your own failings.

Say it with me: It is impossible to be a millionaire at 25. It is impossible to make 180k a year passively. It is impossible to move to Portugal and pay minimal taxes. It is impossible to get out of Ireland. I must pay my taxes. Work sets me free. Ryan Tubridy deserves my money.

Incomprehensible as it may be to one that is so demoralized to see a quality of life that does not involve being swindled by the government, it is true: I got out. The rest of you wont.

So you're 25 years old. You make 180k per year. And you're a millionaire? When you're playing make believe you should at least try to make the figures add up son. Its basic make believe 101

Like most things in the public sector, no incentive to get it right. Trundle along, do the minimum, pay rise increments regardless, someone in Leinster House will bail us out if push comes to shove.

They'd get it right if they needed the revenue and had to sort it out.
