Christina Aguilera makes big money off of her latest gig as coach on NBC's hit battle of the bands show 'The Voice,' but you might be surprised to hear just how much. Brace yourself.

Aguilera reportedly earns a staggering $225,000 per episode. Yup. That means Christina makes 2.25x the amount of the future winner of the show's $100,000 prize -- every episode. So in just eight episodes, Christina has grossed $1,800,000 since the show's April 26 premiere. Not too shabby for a month-and-a-half of work!

And it gets better. Christina's co-stars Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton only make $75,000 per episode, which is no doubt an enviable paycheck, but it means that Xtina makes $150K more per episode than her male colleagues. Break that glass ceiling, girl!

Love the show but definately think they could have chosen another female that has experience in finding talent. Everyone she chooses sings and sounds exactly like her. At least the men choose potential people with their own voice and style.

Get real.

So keep slaving away at your 9 to 5 minimum wage jobs. That's capitalism for you. But of course socialism is evil. Suckers.

I love the show, so much better than american idol. She is irritating and can talk endlessly! I was hoping they'd switch up the coaches every year!

She is a very talented person but I question what is enough money. these days. This goes for all the entertainers, sports figures, corporate elite etc..

I'm sorry she's so not worth it. There are other female performers who are way more talented than she is that could have been asked to do the show.

Except the creator of the show said himself that he didn't want any other female performer except Christina because she has "the voice".

Whatever to the money thing---that's her world, not mine, BUT I LOVE her singing. I love the Candyman song that sounds like the Andrew Sister's Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. I LOVE it!

......and she's worth every penny! After all, this is the 'ENTERTAINMENT" industry., so don't expect a salary 'CAP'. She helps make mucho mula for ABC, i.e, ....whatever the market will bear".
