Saturday Night Takeaway presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made £15,124 every day last year.
But that monster sum made up just part of their earnings.
It was paid into one of their firms – Hurley Promotions Ltd, named after Ant’s pet dog.
The company’s profits shot up to £5.5million last year.
That was £1m more than in 2018 when 44-year-old Ant went into rehab after crashing his car while over the drink-drive limit.
The pals, both 44, are estimated to have made £62m from television and advertisements.
In September they will release a book marking their 30 years in entertainment.

Ant’s own fortune took a battering last year during his bitter divorce from his wife Lisa Armstrong.
Meanwhile, their show Saturday Night Takeaway attracted 29 complaints over a sketch in which Paul Hollywood played an alien planning to infect our planet with a virus.

And in September they will release a new book to mark their 30th anniversary in entertainment.
Once Upon A Tyne: Celebrating 30 Years Together on Telly will chart their rise from BBC children’s show Byker Grove to peak time TV legends.

The duo, both 44, announced the book in a split-screen post on their Instagram page showing them both in virus lockdown at their homes.
Meanwhile Saturday Night Takeaway attracted 29 complaints to TV watchdog Ofcom.
A spokesman said: “We are assessing the complaints against our broadcasting rules but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.’’
