Eva Jinek has her sheep on dry land thanks to her four-year mega deal with RTL. She can therefore easily absorb a possible drop in salary, the weekly magazine Weekend expects.
There are more and more parties that allude to a salary drop for Eva Jinek. The presenter sees her RTL contract expire at the end of next year and it cannot be otherwise than that RTL will shorten her, experts such as Rob Goossens and Bert van der Veer think. After all, she has not turned out to be the ratings magnet that was hoped for.
‘Eva doesn’t score better’
If Eva does not want to be cut, the viewing figures have to go up, analyzes entertainment magazine Weekend. “Eva’s biggest challenge seems to be maintaining herself as a talk show presenter at RTL. Because although she was brought in for a fortune, she does not score better than her competitors on the same time slot Beau, Humberto and Renze.”
Moreover, according to Weekend, she is more on vacation than at work. “Jinek stipulated that she may be free for six months a year, which forced RTL to bring others into the house as well.”
Salary trap for Eva?
The arrival of those other talk show hosts has proven that Eva is ‘not indispensable’, says Rob. De Weekend: “Jinek’s salary could therefore be less profitable in the event of a contract extension than it is now. Well considered, that is not so bad, because Eva has already received the big money and her new house is ready.”
It seems that Eva earns an amount of 1.2 million euros per year at RTL. After the term of her contract, she will then be on just under 5 million euros in TV income. Then you can easily absorb a drop in salary, Weekend argues.
Two million euros
Eva has had a mortgage of more than two million euros for that new villa in Abcoude. She lives there with her beloved Dexter and their son Pax.
Weekend does not count on family expansion. “There is plenty of space, but Eva celebrated her 44th birthday on July 13, which makes it more and more difficult biologically.”
Eva appeared at the Amsterdam Diner last month:
