Since it debuted in 2014, there have been 14 coaches The voice, from country crooners like Blake Shelton to heartbreaker pops like Nick Jonas. Each judge (and competitor) is different, which is why The voice the wages and the amount of coaches they do every season on the NBC show are not the same. Of The voice“In 18 seasons, Shelton is the only manager who has been there since day one, so it is assumed that he earns more. However, that doesn’t mean that the other coaches make money. Every judge on The voice—From Alicia Keys to Adam Levine – he has had an esteemed career. And while The voice did not produce family names (such as, say, American idol), the show managed to attract high-level talent to its coaches.
Levine told Zane Lowe about Apple Music in 2019 how The voice it changed the career of Maroon 5 and made it a household name. “I think when the band did[primoalbum[firstAlbum[primoalbum[firstalbumSongs About Jane]and it all happened in the early 2000s, I think I’m very young and also, it was a different moment, “he said, noting that” not everyone had a camera at all times and you liked a certain kind of privacy “, she said. “So be on The voice and things have really changed it even more. In a certain sense he launched me into the bizarre territory of being, I imagine for lack of a better phrase, a familiar name. “
Next, find out how much each of the 14 item the coaches made their season.
Blake Shelton (Season 1 – Present)

Salary: $ 13 million per season
It’s unclear how much Shelton made in his first season The voice, but in 2016, concurrently with season 10 of The Voice, The Wrap reported that Shelton signed an agreement with NBC to receive $ 13 million per season. Sincet The voice has two seasons a year, which means Shelton makes a whopping $ 26 million a year – and maybe more if he signed a new deal since 2016. Celebrity Insider reported in 2019 that Shelton and his girlfriend, Gwen Stefan, they received “an exceptional bonus for keeping the spark on the camera alive” The source also noted that the crash made Shelton and Stefani’s salaries “significantly higher” than those of the other coaches.
Adam Levine (Season 1-16)

Salary: $ 14 million per season
Like Shelton, Levine was also an OG trainer The voice. He left after season 16, but in 2016, The Wrap reported that he had signed the same deal as Shelton to receive $ 13 million per season ($ 26 million per year.) However, after Levine left The voice, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that his salary was even higher than over $ 14 million per season and close to $ 30 million per year.
Christina Aguilera (Season 1-3, 5, 8, 10)
Salary: $ 12.5 million – $ 17 million per season
The Wrap reported in 2014 that Aguilera earned $ 17 million a season as a Voice coach in season 3 (much more than Levine and Shelton). The “Genie in a Bottle” singer left that season, but returned in season 5, where she took a pay cut, according to The Wrap. For that season and thereafter, The Wrap reported making $ 12.5 million a season.
CeeLo Green (Season 1-3, 5)

Salary: $ 2 million – $ 6.5 million per season
CeeLo was one of The Voice’s OG coaches. He left after season 5, claiming that the show “quickly became a job”. Money Nation reported that the singer made $ 2 million for his first season, which makes sense since he had less of a household name than the other coaches. Upon his departure, however, CeeLo was able to receive a raise, which earned him $ 6.5 million a season.
Shakira (Season 4, 6)
Salary: $ 12 million per season
Shakira never won a season on The Voice, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t leave on an impressive salary. The Hollywood Reporter claimed in 2012 that Shakira signed a deal for $ 12 million a season, which was a lot for a manager in the early seasons of The voice. It’s unclear if she received a pay rise when she returned for season six, but if she did, she would likely have earned the same $ 14 million salary as Levine and Shelton.
Usher (Season 4, 6)
Salary: $ 7 million per season
Usher starred in the same two seasons as Shakira, but earned about half of his salary. The Hollywood Reporter claimed that lead singer “Yeah” made $ 7 million a season when he signed on for season 4. It’s unclear how much he did to get back to The Voice in season 6, but he probably wouldn’t have been close to any of the salaries of other coaches.
Gwen Stefani (Season 7, 9, 12, 17)

Salary: $ 13 million per season
Stefani became a item coach in season 7 and at the time $ 10 million was paid per season, according to CinemaBlend. However, singer No Doubt received a $ 5 raise in season 12 after she and Shelton signed an agreement to reproduce their love affair for the cameras, which earned her $ 13 million a season. It is unclear how much Stefani received from The Voice to return as coach for season 17 (Celebrity Insider reported that she and Shelton received another increase to show their love story on the screen), so it is likely that she and Shelton earn about $ 15 million.
Pharrell Williams (Season 7 – 10)

Salary: $ 8 million per season
Feel Guide reported in 2014 that Pharrell signed a deal for $ 8 million a season when he debuted as a voice coach in season 7. It is not known if he received a salary increase for his subsequent seasons, but given his salary more low when he started, his pay is unlikely to match that of Shelton or Levine.
Miley Cyrus (Season 11, 13)

Salary: $ 13 million per season
Cyrus was a Voice coach for seasons 11 and 13. Money Nation reports that singer “Malibu” made $ 13 million a season for both seasons, slightly less than what OG Levine and Shelton did.
Alicia Keys (Season 11-12, 14)
Image: Trae Patton / NBC.
Salary: $ 8 million per season
Money Nation reported in 2016 that Keys made $ 8 million a season when he signed on as item coach in season 11. The number is not as big as what Levine or Shelton did at the time, but it is almost equal to the pay of other non-OG voice coaches, such as Pharrell and Usher.
Jennifer Hudson (Season 13, 15)

Salary: TBD
There is no news of what Hudson has done The voice. But given that she is an Oscar winner and an authentic pop star, she is likely to have made around $ 10 million for her two seasons in NBC’s singing competition. Given the salaries of his predecessors, it is unlikely that he did more or even close to OG salaries like Levine and Shelton, but we don’t estimate that Hudson’s salary was also low-end.
Kelly Clarkson (Season 14 – Present)
Image: Trae Patton / NBC.
Salary: $ 14 million per season
When Clarkson debuted as a item manager in season 14, Radar Online reported that the American idol the winner signed an agreement to receive $ 14 million per season (or $ 28 million per year.) It is unclear whether the singer “Since U Been Gone” has received a raise since then (she has won three seasons), but if he has, his salary could be the highest of all item coach.
John Legend (Season 16 – Present)
Image: Trae Patton / NBC.
Salary: TBD
It is also unclear what Legend does as a coach The voice. He signed on in season 16 and is a current manager in season 18. He is also the first EGOT to be a coach of The Voice, which must earn him something, given that the man has about a Bajillion Grammys. So we estimate her salary is in the higher end, probably around the same $ 13-14 million dollars that Clarkson was offered when she became a manager in season 14.
Nick Jonas (Season 18 – Present)
Image: Trae Patton / NBC.
Salary: TBD
Season 18 marks Jonas’ first season as a voice coach, so there is little information on how much will be paid for the role. He is also one of the youngest singers to act on The voice, so he could earn a salary similar to Cyrus – $ 13 million – although it is unlikely. Given his career, we estimate that he earns $ 8 to $ 10 million.
