On average the general American Idol winner can potentially make up to a million dollars. However, contestants usually after they reach the top 12 start earning money through royalties, advertisements and sponsorships of advertising companies.
enough for them to be considered well paid They are not the only ones who make money from the show and many individuals not on camera are also well paid. They do not tell how much and they do not even know how much as show will make for this season
It varies by judge. They negotiate with the producers and sign a contract.
Each American Idol Judge is paid a different amount. Some are paid $5 million, another is paid $15 million and $17.5 million.
my friend told me that they make 900,000 dollars a season dont know if it is true

It is not over, just the season. Simple as that really. I believe this year, they are allowing anyone between age 15-28 come on the show due to a phenomenon, Justin Bieber. Most of the judges have changed, and the show will have a new spin this year considering that no one knows for sure who the judges will be.

The contestants do get paid, but it has not been disclosed on how much they get paid! I do know that on American Idol once you make it into the Top 12, you are required to join the performers' union AFTRA (The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). As members of AFTRA, contestants must be paid the minimum hourly rate for a TV performer. AFTRA's last reported minimum wage rate was $921 per hour!!
