Happy news coming from American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest who has signed a new three-year with CKX, parent of Idol producer 19 Entertainment, worth $15 million per year. So with those big numbers, 34-year-old Seacrest is now the highest-paid reality show presenter!

The new deal will make Seacrest exclusively hosting the number one singing competition show through 2012 as well as participating in new projects. This new deal is believed to be the richest ever for a reality host.

The partnership had been in the works for the past several weeks and was announced on Monday by 19 Entertainment, giving Seacrest a big ‘paycheck’ raise from his previous salary of slightly less than $5 million per season.

Seacrest Productions will be working with American Idol creator Simon Fuller on new entertainment endeavors, while he also has a separate cable deal with Comcast and still active as E! Entertainment’s lead anchor. He also produces such shows as E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians and ABC’s upcoming Jamie Oliver reality series.

Not only that, this famous host is also the host of radio countdown show American Top 40, as well as a nationally syndicated radio show for Clear Channel’s 102.7 KIIS-FM. He also executive produces and co-hosts Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest. You’re a very very busy man, Ryan. But anyway, congratulations!
