The popularity of Britain's new quiz show The Weakest Link has catapulted its host, Anne Robinson onto a list of the U.K. top money makers. Robinson, famous for her curt and sometimes insulting remarks to contestants, earned $3 million last year, putting her on the London Sunday Mirror's "Rich List 2000" for the first time. The newspaper noted that her earnings are likely to increase to $21 million this year, when she hosts a U.S. version of the hit show.
