Every season, American Idol ushers in the music industry. The event is full of well-known celebrities from the music business, with incredible performers emerging from it. Here are the net worths of the American Idol judges, ranked to determine who is the BIG TIME judge.
In 2002, American Idol became an unexpected summer hit after Kelly Clarkson captured the nation’s affection. Before FOX terminated the program in 2016, it ran for a total of 14 seasons. However, American Idol hasn’t been done yet. With Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry as judges, ABC revived the show in 2018. Ryan Seacrest, the host, makes a comeback to introduce the program. For over a decade, American Idol has failed to deliver a champion on par with Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, or Adam Lambert, yet viewers still tune in.
