It's interesting how little presence male winners of Idol have on this list - only David Cook and he's in a 3-way tie for 10th! Female winners are much more successful than male winners. Too bad for Idol that it seems like there is not much likelihood for a female to win again. |

Quasi-pulling numbers out of my ass (I did use a spreadsheet for rough cuts), I’d guess that of Adam’s $6M, about $3.5M was from touring, $1.5M was from music, and another $1M from from merchandise, meet n’ greets, etc.
