Shaun Wallace, famed as The Dark Destroyer on ITV's hit show The Chase, has candidly disclosed his 2024 earnings, admitting he now pockets "a lot" more than he did as a barrister. Despite being a household name with a whopping 70 per cent of his income stemming from television, Shaun hasn't hung up his legal hat just yet. He continues to engage in legal work, which constitutes the remaining 30 per cent of his earnings. During an honest exchange with The Times about his financial progression since his days in law, The Dark Destroyer quipped: "A lot. I got paid well as a barrister but I'm now earning about ten times the amount I was before."
