Kelly Clarkson won the $1 million cash prize for winning Season One of "American Idol" nearly 25 years ago, beating Doylestown's Justin Guarini. Despite not being due to any winnings, he did secure a recording contract with RCA as part of his deal with the "AI" producers. On her talk show, Clarkson revealed that she never received the cash or car promised after her win. She also accused the show of lying about giving both Clay Aiken and his mother cars. Following her win, Clarkson rose to fame with many hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and has won three Grammy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
