Simon Cowell Makes $22,000 per Minute. How are you Doing?
You’d guess that Simon Cowell makes a ton of money off of “American Idol” and rightly so – it’s his baby. He’s the judge and producer and final say of what happens on the hit show. But can you imagine making $36 million (GBP11.9 million) a year for watching someone else give their all on live TV?
It sounds like his fellow judges think that’s way out of whack – consider they are taking home much smaller paychecks.
