The Ryan Seacrest Empire - Video

Everyone in Hollywood knows that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is the "hardest working man in showbusiness." He shot to fame in 2002 when he landed the hosting gig with Idol, but he quickly was offered job after job. He currently rakes in $50 million a year. HLN broadcast a special segment on the business guru last night.

In addition to Idol, he also has his own radio morning show and is the man behind the scenes of many reality TV shows -- including Keeping Up with the Kardashians. He recently signed a deal with NBC and The Today Show. He will be covering the Olympics this summer. "If Ryan quit American Idol and gave up his new two-year $30 million deal, he'd still be worth about 40 million bucks," says the HLN reporter.
