‘Dark Horse’ hitmaker Katy Perry may not be riding hits to the top of the charts in ways she’s been accustomed to in the past, but the absence of her chart dominance has by no means minimized her number of rides to the bank. Case in point? Her ‘American Idol’ pay.
As we reported last week, the Grammy-nominated songstress was not only the first confirmed judge of ABC’s ‘Idol’ reboot, but she was set to pocket a cool $15 million for the gig. While Perry has yet to confirm if the reports are true, what she did recently confirm (via an interview with New York’s KTU radio) was that the sum she negotiated was higher than any male judge has ever received over the show’s 15-season history.
Hear her relish in the accomplishment below:

Wat about female ? Mariah got u BEAT?
Mariah is an ICON, Songwriter, Legend, Vocalist, Queen of Billboard Number 1’s. Katy perry is not in Mariah’s league and NEVER will be, Katy’s time is about up. Mariah has 26 years of Power. 26 years of being one of the queens of pop. Katy Perry DOES NOT HAVE THE VOICE, THE VOCALS OR THE SONGWRITING ABILITIES.
Yes Mimi go 18M hunny
J.LO was paid 17.5M! Also more than KP 😀 ahahaha
Which means she’ll get paid all those funds & the talent that wins will not have a well weathered record career!! ?
But not more than me dahhhling! I know it’s throwback Thursday but do we really have to mention her dahhling?
Honey, she will NEVER…..have a Hero or One Sweet Day.
I hope it gets cancelled
who cares. american idol is a gigantic flop nowadays just like her lol.
Didn’t the producers claim that paying judges was the downfall of the first run of the show?!?! Then why pay 15M for someone who no one wants to see as a judge?!?!
She’s weird and her head’s shaped like a leggo so…
You guys are disgusting, horrible human beings. To attack for no reason and to wish the worst for somebody — that’s the lowest of the low. What f****** waste of spaces.
Yes. Katy white trash is a pure racist b****. She can retire now her music career is done
