Aguilera played coy when asked by reporters at Wednesday’s finale.
She makes $225,000 per episode, as THR revealed in a cover story earlier this month. Fellow coaches Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton make about $75,000 each.
Levine told THR Wednesday that he hopes to return as well: “If they’ll have me, I’d be delighted to be back.”

“This show is bigger than any of its coaches or the host,” he told the New York Post. “This show will live on in perpetuity with many a star in those chairs.”

Javier Colon beat out Dia Frampton to win the show Wednesday.
The finalists will kick off a six-stop summer tour in July. Before that, most are already in the recording studio working on albums.
