'American Idol' 2023 Judges & Host Salaries: the Highest Paid Earns a Rumored $25 Million Per Season!

American Idol‘s new season is set to debut in just a few days on ABC and we have the only available information about the salaries for the three judges and the host, Ryan Seacrest.

If you don’t know, the three returning judges this season are Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, who all participated in last year’s season as well.

The reboot of American Idol debuted on ABC back in 2018. The show previously aired on Fox for 15 seasons before making the move to ABC.

The salary info dates back to 2018, so there may have been some contract renegotiations since.
