America’s Got Talent has cemented the fame and status of several accomplished acts. The NBC show has spanned nearly 2 decades and has featured a roster of judges, but how much do these A-listers get per season?

The talent show was created by show mogul Simon Cowell in 2006, and has produced the iconic acts like Terry Fator, Lindsey Stirling, Jackie Evancho, and Grace VanderWaal. “Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts and met some truly incredible people. It’s true that two or three minutes can change your life,” the judge said of its 20th season. “I want to thank every contestant, all the fans who have supported the show every year and to NBC for believing in this show. And of course, the amazing team, past and present, who make the show so special. Now as always, I am really excited to meet the contestants this year.”
