Ryan Seacrest is easily one of the most well-known people when it comes to the entertainment business. The star first came to prominence back in the early 90s after having moved to Los Angeles where Seacrest began hosting ESPN's, 'Radical Outdoor Challenge'. This was one of many hosting gigs Ryan had throughout the 90s, including his time on 'Gladiators 2000', and 'Wild Animal Games'. While he had quite a lot of success, it wasn't until the premiere of FOX's, 'Americal Idol', did Ryan land his big break.

Ryan Seacrest was one of two hosts on 'Americal Idol', however, after the show's first season, Seacrest found himself as the lone host of the singing competition, which would remain as so for 17 seasons to come. With nearly 20 years hosting the show that gave rise to Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Chris Daughtry, here's how much the star earns for his hosting duties.

Ryan Seacrest 'American Idol' Salary

Ryan Seacrest has become one of the biggest names in the industry, and rightfully so! While he began working in the media come the early 90s, it wasn't until 2002 that Seacrest became a household name. The star got his big break on the hit reality singing competition series, 'American Idol'. This has easily been Ryan's most successful gig to date, however, that isn't all he is known for.

Ryan Seacrest has gone on to host an array of radio shows, including his very own KIIS-FM iHeartRadio show, 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest'. Additionally, Ryan is an executive at E! network, where he has worked diligently on hit reality shows, including 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'. If that weren't enough, Seacrest also replaced Michael Strahan on 'Live! With Kelly & Ryan' in 2017. Thankfully, the star makes quite a bit doing what he does, however, his $10 million 'American Idol' salary, takes the cake!

Ryan Seacrest has been hosting the series since its start in 2002. While he has been the face of the show for years, Ryan wasn't the only host to start. Seacrest appeared alongside Brian Dunkleman, who co-hosted the show with Ryan. Although the two had great rapport, FOX got rid of Brian come the second season, leaving Seacrest as the sole host. Much like his 'Idol' salary, Ryan makes the same figure for his hosting duties alongside Kelly Ripa.

Luckily for Ryan, his success on 'American Idol', radio shows, talk shows, and being an executive at E!, it is no surprise that the star has been able to amass an impressive net worth of $450 million. It was revealed that Ryan brings home nearly $70 million per year with all his gigs combined, and considering he has been at this for over 2 decades, it's all well-deserved!
