Adam Lambert is the Top-Earning American Idol Alum

Once again Adam Lambert proves that you don't need to win Idol to kill it in the music industry. According to Forbes, Lambert was the top earning Idol-alum of last year, raking in a lovely 10 million dollars in 2015--two million more than Country Princess Carrie Underwood.

Lambert earned his career-high salary by releasing Ghost Town (his newest album), selling out arena shows, and of course, joining Queen in place of Freddie Mercury (RIP).

Lambert fans are gonna love this.
