Jennifer Zamparelli’s Eye Watering Earnings As She Bids Farewell To 2FM
Jennifer Zamparelli has opened up about her impressive earnings over the span of her career.
The recently departed 2FM host has starred in a number of successful TV shows and opened various businesses alongside her career as a disk jockey.
According to the latest accounts filed by her company Stormbound Ltd, the TV presenter’s hard work has paid off, with Jennifer eager to be independent when it comes to her finances.
From starring in hit shows such as Republic of Telly, The Fear, Bridget and Eamon and most recently Dancing with the Stars, Jennifer has built up a substantial amount of wealth over the years.
The 44-year-old is the sole owner of management company Stormbound Ltd which has made accumulated profits of €802,000 to date, according to their latest filing.
The firm made a profit of €66,200 in the year leading up to 2023 down from €122,000 the previous year.
Jennifer is listed as one of the company’s directors alongside her husband Lauterio Zamparelli.
Branching out into the world of business, Jen launched the HairPeople salon in Dublin 2 in 2022.
Stormbound has a 49pc stake in the business, which was started with €100,000 from Stormbound Holdings Ltd.
Jennifer started the company with hairdresser Bernadette Byrnes and it made a profit of €10,700 within its first 14 months of operation.
With a number of other ventures also under her belt, Jen has been quiet open about her need for independence.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent last December, she said: ‘I never wanted to be dependent on anybody.’
‘Being self-employed, you become very independent because you have nobody else to rely on but yourself.’
‘Am I good with money? I am a good saver. I always like to have a back-up plan and I don’t like to have all my eggs in one basket,’ she explained.
‘I have worked my ass off in this industry. [The public] see the jobs I have gotten but there are way more jobs that I didn’t get in that organisation and it’s nice to be thought of as “an RTÉ person” but [in fact] I am a self-employed businesswoman.’
