America’s Got Talent goes beyond the usual song and dance competition to include talented folks who can do almost anything. For 13 seasons, we’ve watched winners take home the $1 million prize and celebrate success. From tours to endorsements, here are the most successful America’s Got Talent contestants ever. One is even worth $120 million (page 15).

15. Kevin Skinner

The most successful America’s Got Talent contestant is obviously the mega-talented ventriloquist, impressionist, comedian, and singer, Terry Factor.  Way back in 2007 during the sophomore season of AGT, Factor skyrocketed to fame and took home the $1 million prize.

The funnyman is now worth $120 million and he attributes all of his success to America’s Got Talent. He told Travel Zoo, “Let’s just say that if I hadn’t won, right now I’d be the most talented singing ventriloquist pumping gas in Corsicana, Texas. The truth is that everywhere I go, to this day, people mention me winning AGT. And I never get tired of hearing them share with me how they and their family voted for me. It’s why every night I want to give every fan the best show they have ever seen.”
