There’s a new addition to the roster of coaches on The Voice! It has just been confirmed that Ariana Grande will sit on the famous red chair starting this fall. And she’s expected to get millions for the stint.
The “God Is A Woman” singer will join resident coach Blake Shelton, as well as returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.
Following the announcement that Grande will be joining the reality TV competition, multiple publications started speculating on how much she would be earning from her upcoming gig.
On his Naughty But Nice podcast, gossip columnist Rob Shuter suggested that Grande will be receiving between $20 and $25 million from The Voice. If his estimates are correct, this also means that Grande is the highest-paid coach on the NBC program thus far.
According to The Wrap, Shelton and former coach Adam Levine received $13 million when they first joined The Voice years ago. By the time that the Maroon 5 frontman left the show, he was already making $14 million.
Shelton’s fiancée, Gwen Stefani, received $1 million during the first season of The Voice. When she returned to seasons 3 and 5, she received $6.5 million. In Season 7, Stefani received $10 million, and she received another $3 million increase in the succeeding seasons.
Prior to Grande, Christina Aguilera was named as the highest-paid The Voice coach. She earned $17 million during her gig from seasons 1 to 5.
Clarkson was the second-highest-paid coach on The Voice before Grande joined the group. She reportedly earns $15 million per season. Legend, on the other hand, received $13 million during his first appearance in The Voice. However, it is unclear if he will be given a raise when he returns in the fall.
When it comes to the coaches’ net worth, Grande is also the one with the highest figures. Celebrity Net Worth estimated her yearly revenue at $180 million.
Shelton’s net worth is estimated at $100 million, while Clarkson’s net worth is estimated at $45 million.
Grande can no longer hide her excitement to join The Voice family. On her Twitter account, she already posed in front of her red chair. The award-winning singer also said that she’s thrilled, honored, and beyond excited to appear in The Voice Season 21.
