Simon Cowell Tops TV Earners With $75 Million

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:13:05 +0000

By Forbes Simon Cowell is more than just the meanest man in prime-time television, he's also the best paid.

The calculations are based on estimated pre-tax earnings from June 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009. Like Cowell — who also has a record label and several other TV hosting gigs and has shepherded the careers of singers like Susan Boyle and Leona Lewis — many of the men on the list do more ...
