Karl looked young and youthful in a casual outfit, wearing a black cap backwards with a black T-shirt and jeans. 

He teamed the sporty look with a pair of red sneakers.  

Karl, who drives a Toyota Landcruiser, appeared to be in his element on the day, laughing with staff and smiling as they spoke about the cars.

At one point he had a look underneath the bonnet of the black Land Rover. 

It’s previously been reported that Karl earns $2million and $3million annually on Today, depending on the show’s performance.

However, it was reported last month that after Today beat rival Sunrise in the ratings, Nine executives gave Karl and co-host Ally Langdon contract extensions worth $1.8million each.  

It comes after Karl’s highly publicised pay dispute with former co-host Lisa Wilkinson, who was sacked from the show – and Channel Nine – in 2017.

The 61-year-old veteran TV host left the network after trying and failing to achieve pay parity with Stefanovic.

She has revisited the saga in her new autobiography, It Wasn’t Meant to Be Like This, in which she alleges Stefanovic convinced her to approach the network for more money, explaining that if they weren’t given pay parity, they’d both quit.

She later discovered Stefanovic had signed a $2million deal with Nine amid rumours he was planning to move across to Channel Seven.
