According to the board of ETV the Eurovision 2002 hosts Annely Peebo and Marko Matvere received approximately 3200 � for their work. Estonian newspaper Eesti Päevaleht wrote that.

In addition, ETV covered also the other expences the hosts had. For example ETV payed for numerous flights Annely had to take between Tallinn and Vienna.

Peebo and Matvere have been involved with ESC closely for a last half a year. During that time the rehearsals took place and also organizing all kinds detail things, including French lessons.

Both hosts can keep the three unique costumes made by the top-designer Katrin Kuldma.

Still the comments in the webportals are quite full of surprize, that the salary was so low. And that's low even in Estonia there the average salary per month is approx. 350 �.
