David Cook

David Cook went on to release a platinum debut album (appropriately titled “David Cook”) after winning the seventh season of the competition. Cook’s net worth is estimated to be in the $5 million range, thanks to his tremendous fame and the fact that not one, but two of his songs charted in the Billboard Top 20.

David Archuleta

Since leaving the show, David Archuleta has kept himself busy. He’s released six studio albums and sold over one million copies since season seven. His debut album arrived at No. 2 on the US Billboard charts, and he earned an estimated $1 million in 2015. He’s worth $5 million, but we’re guessing he gives away the most of it: He’s involved in a lot of charity activities and even took a two-year musical hiatus in 2012 to serve as a missionary in Chile.
