Katy Perry is the new host of the American Idol reboot and she’s rumored to be getting paid upwards of $25 million — that’s a lot of coin.

During an interview with New York’s 103.5 KTU, she boasted about the big pay check.

“I’m really proud that, as a woman, I got paid,” she said. “And you know why? I got paid, pretty much, more than any guy that’s been on the show. By the way, I love men. So, I’m a paid woman and I’m ready for a beautiful man… I really wanted to join this show at the right time. I always have. We’ve always been in negotiations for several years. It’s never been right, but now when they kind of, like, brought it to a new home, it’s perfect.”

According to TMZ, Katy is earning nearly $25 million.

Jennifer Lopez supposedly made $15 million for her time on the show.
