17. Kris Allen
Thinking back to season eight of American Idol, a lot of people would remember the household name, Adam Lambert, who was a popular figure on stage. He was seen as a great singer and performer but still not in the winning position as Kris Allen took place. Allen was a native of Arkansas, and Lambert ended up in second place. For sure, many questions lied in the results show as lots of people believed that something went wrong as they saw Lambert as the ultimate winner. But, since winning, Allen has not backed down as he has gone global and big with his music career. To date, the singer has released four studio albums and many other number-one singles. Allen’s net worth is estimated at $3.5 million.
