We all knew that Ryan Seacrest was going to get a big deal but Fox’s $45 million dollar offer is a little better than I was expecting. It’s only over a three year period so the American Idol host will be making $15 million
per year. That’s the most any reality TV show host has made.
Talk about a raise – this more than triples his previous salary where he was earning less than $5 million per season.
Of course, this doesn’t even include the money he makes on E! Entertainment and as the producer of shows like Keeping Up the Kardashians and his upcoming project with chef, Jamie Oliver.
I know that some people don’t like him but I think that Ryan is worth securing until the show finally goes off the air.
