The Voice Australia Coaches’ Salaries Leak Reveals Million-Dollar Gap

The Voice Australia 2025 features coaches Richard Marx, Mel C, Ronan Keating, and Kate Miller-Heidke, with significant disparities in their salaries. Richard Marx and Mel C, both international stars, reportedly secured deals exceeding $1 million each, reflecting their global status and the network's willingness to invest heavily to attract them. Ronan Keating’s salary is estimated to be close to $750,000 to $1.2 million, aligning with previous international coaches' earnings, while Australian coach Kate Miller-Heidke earns between $500,000 and $600,000, about half that of her international counterparts. The high salaries correspond with lavish accommodations during filming, such as Marx’s stay in an $11 million mansion in Tamarama. Despite the star power, the show has faced viewer criticism for the limited Australian representation among the coaches, sparking debate about the balance between international appeal and national talent. Overall, Channel Seven appears to prioritize big names to maintain the show's appeal, despite mixed audience reactions.
