Kelly Clarkson Tops Forbes’ List of Top-Earning American Idol Contestants; See Full List

Kelly Clarkson has had a fabulous time lately. The singer got engaged last year, sang at President Obama’s inauguration, totally live we might add, and now, has been named as Forbes’ top-earning American Idol contestant.

The magazine compiled earnings for all Idol alum from May 2011 to May 2012, and the original Idol champ came out on top for taking home $8 million.

And The Winner Of The Top Earning American Idol Star Is….

Forbes has released its annual list of the top earning American Idol stars for the past year, and the list will surprise you.

Of course, Carrie Underwood tops the list — but the shocker is that my fave Glambert comes in at number 2, above Kelly Clarkson.

In fact, Kelly Clarkson gets beat out by even Jordin Sparks and Fantasia Barrino… Then again, this list only covers May 2010-May 2011.

What you will notice missing from the list are the last three winners of the show, Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen and Scott McCreery, although, granted, McCreery obviously gets a pass since he just won the Idol crown.

Here are the top 10 earners:
1. Carrie Underwood – $20 million

2. (tie) Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry – $6 million. Lambert’s first album, For Your Entertainment, sold 821,000 copies domestically and was certified gold or platinum in six other countries. He also had a 116-date Glam Nation Tour which proved a rare success in 2010′s troubled concert industry.
4. Fantasia Barrino – $4 million–Fantasia’s reality show Fantasia For Real, was VH1′s biggest hit of 2010, and her comeback album Back To Me, was her highest-charting album to date.
5. Jordin Sparks – $3 million
6. Kelly Clarkson – $2.5 million
7. Jennifer Hudson – $2 million
8. Kellie Pickler – $1.8 million
9. Clay Aiken – $1.5 million
10. (tie) Katharine McPhee, David Archuleta, David Cook – $1 million. McPhee made the list due to her upcoming NBC series Smash and a new label deal with Columbia Records in conjunction with that show. 

Katharine McPhee: Help Haiti Heal – Exclusive Photos & Video

A big thumbs up for celebrities using their name to help the world become a better place.

Take Katharine McPhee for example. To help bring back attention to a cause possibly forgotten, McPhee has teamed up with American Eagle Outfitters who in turn have entered into a partnership with Concern Worldwide US to raise funds for the rebuilding and support of schools in Haiti.

On the one-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake on January 12, there are still “1.3 million people living in these tents,”  McPhee told Mario Lopez of Extra.

Along with McPhee, celebs such as The Edge, Ryan Seacrest, Sean Paul, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, & Garcelle Beauvais, just to name a few, are helping to spread the word to buy and wear a limited-edition, AE-designed “Help Haiti Heal” T-shirts.


Watch and hear Katharine explain the T-shirts herself:

The T-shirts are being sold in more than 900 American Eagle Outfitters stores throughout the U.S., and worldwide at www.ae.com/haiti. The T-shirts were made in Haiti, by Haitians, to mark the first anniversary of the earthquake and raise awareness about the continuing need to help Haiti heal. The entire purchase price of US $15.50 will be donated to Concern Worldwide’s education program in Haiti, with the potential to raise as much as US $1 million.

The proceeds raised from the sale of the Help Haiti Heal t-shirts will: rebuild and repair two schools that were destroyed during the earthquake, provide 1,000 earthquake-affected children with access to primary education, equip the two schools with classroom furniture (desks, chairs), install clean water systems, latrines and sanitation at the two schools and ensure that the most vulnerable children in the communities receive a primary education.
