Carrie Underwood
According to Forbes, Carrie Underwood is the “most successful” American Idol winner. She apparently has enough money (about $85 million) to buy American Idol and host her own weekly show if she so desired. She’s received seven Grammys, ten Billboard Music Awards, a four-time platinum record, and more — and there’s no end in sight, which is either fantastic or terrible depending on your opinions about country music.
