"17-year-old Scotty McCreery gets the title and the most pocket change, as his winning recording contract will pay him $250,000.
As for Lauren Aliana, the teen will take home a little less than a third of that, as the second-place spoils total up to $87,500. However—and here's the good news for Lauren and her accountants—that figure could double up to a not-too-shabby $175,000 if when she actually records an album.
So how do their paydays rank in the grand scheme of reality show paydays? Well, for placing second on American Idol, Lauren could still wind up richer than whoever tops The Voice, as the grand prize in that upstart program is just $100,000. But they all pale in comparison to The X Factor, as Simon Cowell has promised the winner an astounding $5 million contract." (e news)
