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.

Why did American Idol end?

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!
