Simon Cowell could be offered up to $144 million USD-a-year to host American Idol, according to reports.
Cowell is said to have made US$36 million last year for judging the television talent show.
But producers are willing to pay out up to three or four times that amount to get the acid-tongued presenter to stay with the show when his contract expires next May.
According to the New York Post, American Idol makes around US$900 million a year.
TV network Fox has declined to comment about the salary negotiations.
A representative for Cowell, 49, was unavailable for comment.
