Paul O’Grady’s company still earns staggering £63k a week – more than a year after his tragic death

PAUL O’Grady’s company has continued to earn an impressive £63,000 a week, more than a year after his tragic death.

The beloved TV presenter passed away at the age of 67 on March 28, 2023, due to sudden cardiac arrhythmia.

Paul left behind a multi-million pound television fortune when he tragically died, new documents have revealed.

Back in August 2024, documents revealed that the For The Love Of Dogs star had amassed profits of a whopping £8.4million for Buster Productions - a private firm he used to channel his earnings.

Paul had set up Buster Productions Ltd, which he named after his dog Buster, in 2001 and over the years he built up an impressive TV legacy.

Recent filings from the company revealed that it paid £655,000 in corporation tax.

This suggests an income of about £3.3 million for the year. Dividing that by the roughly 52 weeks in a year gives a current weekly income of around £63,000.

Paul also left an impressive £15.5 million in his will, with a significant portion designated for his family and charities that were meaningful to him.

The star earned his money from his glittering telly career, including from his own series - The Paul O'Grady Show - which ran from 2004 to 2015.

Last month, it was revealed that Paul's huge countryside mansion had gone on sale for £3.5m - and comes with a "witch's cottage".

The TV legend previously lived in the seven-bedroom farmhouse in Kent with husband Andre Portasio.

Brazilian ballet dancer Andre, who inherited the Kent estate after his husband Paul's death last year, wanted to convert the property into a holiday rental before putting the entire house on the market.

It was listed on Rightmove and will likely attract a lot of interest.

The house boasts four reception rooms, a large kitchen and breakfast room and a master bedroom with dressing room and en suite.

It also has four further bedrooms with an en suite and a modern family bathroom.

A cottage on the grounds has been turned into a dance studio and gym with a kitchen and steam room.

A second timber cottage is described as a "charming and whimsical building ... where carved woodland creatures keep watch and fairy doors are accommodated".
