Though it is less than Simon Cowell's salary which is $ 45 million per season.Perry has been a guest judge on UK's "The X Factor" and have turned down to be a mentor on NBC's 'The Voice' including the multiple eight-figure salary offer.

I got paid, pretty much, more than any guy that's been on that show," she said. "And by the way, I love men. So I'm a paid woman and I'm ready for a beautiful man." The panel of judges that will join Perry on American Idol is soon to be confirmed.
