Ryan Seacrest's 'American Idol' contract for two years is priced at $30 million. However, despite the attractive compensation package, Seacrest reportedly wants to pursue his passion for producing more shows like 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.

"Ryan's reduced role in this year's Emmys red carpet coverage is a clear move toward a life that involves less hosting and more producing.
