Even though Paula Abdul had been with American Idol since day one, she was offered much less in salary then that of her fellow workmates, both whom are male.
Abdul’s asking price was $12 Million, however, it was “no dice” from Idol brass, in stark contrast to Ryan Seacrest, who recently inked a new deal for over $45 Million plus other incentives, while Simon Cowel is reportedly making at least $100 Million a year also with heavy incentives.
