The winner of American Idol receives a recording contract and a cash prize. According to Business Insider, in a July 2022 interview with Season 16 winner Maddie Poppe, she explained, “You do get $250,000, but not really because of taxes.” She continued, “And you get half of it before you complete your record, and then the second half you get after you complete the record.
