It's Really Costing A Bundle To Keep Ryan On As The Host Of Idol

A $10 million dollar packet!
You might not have heard, but Ryan Seacrest makes $45 million dollars a year - $55 million if you bank on his take from producing Jamie Oliver's scoff Revolution . One-third of that robust paycheck comes from hosting American darling and it turns out that his pay has sent Idol's operating costs soaring.
The corroborate had to submit a regulatory filing on Monday and from those documents, we've highbrow that costs for the show jumped 17 percent while there was a flag in operating income. Ryan's income mirrors these changes as his emolument tripled from $5 to $15 million for no more than hosting Idol.
However, no one at FOX is sweating these details. American pet's still the #1 show on TV. It brings in $7.11 million every half hour its on the feeling. That means just one episode covers Ryan's remuneration almost completely.
Not a bad see to Ryan. Not bad at all.
