Ryan Seacrest Earns $55 Million A Year, Thanks To American Idol
Posted on Thu May 12, 2011 07:00 AM PDT
Ryan Seacrest doesn't have six jobs for nothing!
The American Idol host earns a whopping $55 million a year, with $45 coming from Idol, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Seacrest's other gigs include hosting LA's KIIS-FM radio show, producing E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, acting as managing editor and lead anchor for E! News, and serving as a producer on Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.
These jobs collectively bring in about $10 million -- small potatoes compared to the Idol paycheck.
Unfortunately for Fox, Idol costs jumped about 17 percent to pay Ryan's hefty salary. Good thing the hit-show pulls in $7.11 million every half hour it airs!
Will X-Factor have the same luck?
While AI earns $7.11 million every half hour, Two and a Half Men nabs $2.89 million per 30 minutes. Not too shabby!
