So I saw him on Top Gear, He has like 20 Ferrari’s and is obviously rich as hell. So I listen to LIVE BBC 2 radio online and he just seems like a cheesy DJ playing old Wham songs...

WTF? Can you explain this to me? How does a DJ, any DJ, afford 20 Ferrari's? Let alone him and that show? I guess radio just doesn’t translate well?

[Hanwombat]

well i dont know how much he gets paid but he used to do other work and a dj on radio one gets around 600'000 a year

He had a media/production company that he sold for a few quid.

EDIT:

On 14 March 2000 Evans agreed the sale of Ginger Media Group to SMG plc for £225m.[12] The sale made Evans the highest paid entertainer in the UK in 2000, estimated by the Sunday Times Rich List to have been paid around £35.5million

He's like Conan O Brien, floppy ginga hair and all. Funny too!

He was married to billy piper once. He did an interview with Button once that was funny. At one point Jenson said "It felt like somone was duckling my helmet off" then stopped as he realised what he had said.

IIRC The Big Breakfast was his big break, which was a morning show about 20 years ago, it was a bit lewd for that time of day which made it a hit

"Duckling" my helmet off? Is that the colourful language filter at work?

Well I have to say I have listened to his radio show now and then late at night, (early in the UK) for a few weeks and this guys is utter rubbish. The music he plays sucks and he is not funny, and when he tries to be serious it’s even worse. I can't imagine why people like this chap. And I'm no Conan fan but I can truly say Chris Evans is NO CONAN O’BRIEN! Plus Conan does network TV broadcast to 300 million Americans, Chris Evans is just some radio guy? Wow I so don't get it or how he could be that rich to have all those Ferrari's...

Read up on how Howard Stern became so rich and he's just a radio hack and he also has/had a production company :

On January 9, 2006, the day of his first broadcast, Sirius issued 34.3 million shares of stock worth $218 million to Stern and his agent for exceeding a subscriber target set in 2004. A second stock incentive was paid on January 9, 2007, with Stern earning 22 million shares worth $82.9 million.

When I saw the episode of TopGear with Chris Evans I liked his easy going demeanor and humor and then was amazed to findout about all his Ferrari's aswell. I see what your saying though about how can a DJ become so fricking rich and normally only work, on-air, 4hr's a day .

[Jabberwocky]

fricking rich and normally only work, 4hr's a day .

We all would if we could
