The Voice coaches’ salaries have indeed surprised many due to the significant disparity among them.

These coaches are crucial elements of the show and are typically A-list artists with high levels of expertise and considerable global influence. So, how much do the producers have to shell out to secure these famous stars?

CeeLo Green – $2 million (almost 50 billion Vietnamese Dong)

As a singer and music producer, CeeLo’s initial salary for sitting on The Voice’s coaching panel in its first season was surprisingly low at $2 million. However, he later negotiated a raise to $6.5 million for the show’s fifth season. This lower salary could be attributed to CeeLo’s relatively lower profile at the time of his initial involvement in the show.

Usher – $7 million (over 140 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Renowned R&B artist Usher joined The Voice in its fourth season alongside Shakira. Despite his coaching prowess, which led to a win in season six, Usher’s salary was considerably less than expected, earning $7 million. However, Usher’s focus might not be solely on the paycheck, given his substantial earnings from tours, album sales, and business ventures like Tidal.

Pharrell Williams – $8 million (over 160 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Pharrell, a singer and producer, participated in The Voice’s seventh season. Despite being an Oscar-nominated artist and coaching a winning contestant in season eight, he received a relatively modest $8 million salary, possibly due to negotiation factors or his lesser emphasis on monetary compensation.

Alicia Keys – $8 million (over 160 billion Vietnamese Dong)

With 15 Grammy wins to her name, Alicia Keys brought a fresh perspective to the show in season 11. Despite her musical prowess and popularity, she received the standard $8 million salary for her first season on the show, similar to most other coaches’ initial salaries.

Shakira – $12 million (over 260 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Although participating in seasons four and six, Shakira, despite her coaching abilities, never coached a winning contestant. Her salary of $12 million per season might seem high, but considering her immense global popularity and earnings from various ventures, it could have been higher.

Adam Levine – $13 million (over 280 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has been a fixture on The Voice since its inception, winning three times. He reportedly earned $13 million per season, indicating his enduring popularity among viewers despite earning slightly less than his fellow coach, Blake Shelton.

Miley Cyrus – $13 million (over 280 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Miley joined The Voice in season 11 alongside Alicia Keys. Despite her controversial past and relatively young age compared to other coaches, she commanded a salary of $13 million for her first season, likely due to her strong appeal to younger audiences.

Blake Shelton – over $13 million (over 280 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Country music star Blake Shelton has been with The Voice since season one, winning five times. His salary reportedly surpassed $13 million per season, indicating his enduring popularity and the producers’ willingness to pay a premium for his continued involvement.

Gwen Stefani – over $13 million (over 280 billion Vietnamese Dong)

Gwen Stefani, joining in season seven, received $10 million for her first season but renegotiated for over $13 million, likely influenced by her romantic relationship with fellow coach Blake Shelton, which added an extra draw for viewers.

Christina Aguilera – $17 million (over 370 billion Vietnamese Dong)

With a record-setting salary of $17 million for season three, Christina Aguilera remains the highest-paid coach in The Voice US history. Despite coaching only one winning contestant in season ten, her immense popularity and past achievements likely contributed to her hefty paycheck.

Recently, The Voice announced new coaches for seasons 13 and 14, including Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson. While their exact salaries are undisclosed, it’s reasonable to expect figures close to or exceeding $13 million, given their star power and the show’s history of compensating top talent generously.
