Ever wondered how much The Voice Australia coaches LeAnn Rimes, Kate Miller-Heidke, Adam Lambert and Guy Sebastian are getting paid for the 2024 season? Reports have just dropped and there appears to be quite a salary jump between some judges.
The Voice Australia is in Season 13 and local musician Guy is the only returning coach from previous years of the hit singing reality show. He started as a judge back in 2019.
According to Woman’s Day, Guy signed a contract of $750,000 for the 2019 season when he joined the show. Now, five years later, Guy’s The Voice salary is understood to be worth $1 million.
So how does Guy’s The Voice salary compare to new coaches LeAnn, Adam and Kate?
How much are The Voice Australia coaches LeAnn, Adam and Kate getting paid?
As reported by Yahoo! Lifestyle, international The Voice coaches LeAnn and Adam are believed to be on a salary of between $750,000-$1.2 million for the 2024 season.
While this is a broad pay window and seems on par with Guy’s contract, it’s also rumoured to be “considerably less” than Jason Derulo and Rita Ora who were The Voice Australia coaches in 2023.
In July 2024, rumours circled as to why Rita didn’t return for The Voice 2024 and yep, you guessed it — it reportedly had to do with pay disputes.
‘Caught In The Crowd’ singer Kate, who is a first-timer coach on this show, is believed to be getting paid “upwards of $500,000”.
On The Voice Australia, the four coaches choose contestants for each of their teams and compete for the title at the end.
A TV insider told Yahoo! that talent fees can be the biggest factor in a show’s budget.
“Talent fees are the biggest expense on a show like this and bringing in stars who are widely known, but not necessarily relevant right now is a good way to cut costs,” the insider told the publication.
Ouch!
The Voice Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Tuesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
