SIMON COWELL, NET WORTH—$600 MILLION
Intimidating, entertaining, and incredibly wealthy, British music mogul Simon Phillip Cowell has become a household name in the world of television. Known for his blunt and often ruthless judgments on *The X Factor UK* and *Britain’s Got Talent*, Simon’s sharp eye for talent is backed by his own remarkable success.
Simon’s rise from humble beginnings is truly a rags-to-riches story. Starting in the mailroom of his father’s music publishing company, he worked his way up to launch his own record label. His big break came when he joined *Pop Idol* as a judge, where his sharp wit and no-nonsense style quickly made him a fan favorite. Beyond television, Simon’s early investments in the music industry helped him discover pop star Sinitta, famous for *So Macho*. Now, as a judge on *America’s Got Talent*, Simon is back to captivate audiences with his unique brand of entertainment.
