American Idol 10 Top 13 Tour Contract - $1000 per show

Stefano Langone is going to be rich!

TMZ reports that the American Idol 10 Top 13 will receive $1000 per show on the Idol Tour this year. With 45+ dates scheduled, that comes to at least $45,000 for each cast member. Not bad for a couple of songs a night.

The Idols are also guaranteed to stay in a Marriott/Hyatt style hotel while on the tour. What does that mean? LOL

From TMZ:

"American Idol's" top 11 finalists are set to make bank over the summer -- because TMZ has learned they'll each get paid $1,000 for EVERY show they perform during the American Idol Live Tour.

TMZ obtained a copy of the contract all Idol finalists had to sign before the show -- which spells out exactly how much dough they'll pull in if they're invited to participate on the international tour.

In addition to the $1,000-per-concert -- the documents show each finalist will share in merchandise profits from the tour ... and will also receive $50 in spending cash for non-concert days.

Finalists are also guaranteed to stay in "Marriott/Hyatt style" hotel accommodations while on the road -- and will fly coach between tour stops.
