The Voice is not just a simple singing competition; fans are aware of everything happening around the reality show, such as when each phase begins, who the coaches are and what the judges’ salaries are.
The TV show has not only brought good earnings to the stars occupying the iconic red chairs but has also served emerging artists who make their debut on the stage, with the winner being the most benefited.
The prize money remains the same every year, but sometimes that is not the ultimate reward; it’s the exposure and recognition from the audience that can propel contestants to the highest levels of the industry.
How much The Voice judges earn?
As happens every year, the judges’ salary is around 13 million dollars per season, although it varies based on their level of fame, their tenure on the show, and the number of victories they have in previous seasons, according to The US Sun.
John Legend earned $13 million for his participation in the competition as a coach, just like country icon Reba McEntire. Meanwhile, Chance the Rapper has a salary of $8 million so far.
According to the OK website, most stars in this role sign a contract for an initial salary of $8 million in their first season. Therefore, everything indicates that Dan + Shay would charge the same as the rapper.
Who is the highest paid coach on The Voice?
The rule that the coach receives only $8 million in their first season was waived for Ariana Grande, who solidified herself as the highest-paid judge in the history of the show, with a salary of $25 million.
The US Sun confirmed that she was paid this high sum because she attracted a significant audience from Generation Z and Millennials, causing ratings peaks to be higher and more viewers to tune in.
Occupying the second spot on the list of the highest-paid judges on The Voice is Christina Aguilera with $17 million, while the third spot goes to Kelly Clarkson, whose earnings were $15 million.
