Christina Aguilera Makes Bank on The Voice

All aboard the money train! Its been leaked how much the judges on The Voice are making per episode, and its just as nauseating as you would imagine. Whats even more disgusting is that NBC felt Christina Aguilera is worthy of $150,000 MORE than the other three judges.

Thats right. The girl who used to live in Britney Spears shadow during her teeny-bopper phase is now sitting on a rotating chair and telling people theyre talented for wait for it $225,000 per episode! I can only imagine fellow judges, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton are not too happy that theyre only raking in $75,000 a piece per episode. Well, cry me a river.

NBC can afford to pay such a ridiculous amount to their celebrity judges because the show is now incredibly successful. If you havent checked out the breakout hit yet, its basically like American Idol without the bad singers. Its not showcasing people who suck and making a mockery of anybody, Shelton said to The Hollywood Reporter. Its just about good singers who all get that its a competition show.

The four judges should consider themselves lucky that theyve landed this gig. Other famous singers, like John Mayer, were considered but didnt make the cut.

With the success of the first season, all four judges have signed on for season two and NBC is figuring out new ways to milk the success, like a possible tour or an album release.
