Over the last three decades, there have been plenty of well-known personalities judging popular competition shows. But few are as famous as Simon Cowell — and given how he's starred on some wildly popular franchises, folks can likely see why! Simon first gained notoriety in the United States in 2002, when he became a judge alongside Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson on American Idol. A judge for the show's first nine seasons, he eventually left in 2010 to serve as a panelist on America's Got Talent. Working alongside Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel and Mel B, Simon will be on hand to see which incredible talent will win it all in its milestone season 20 beginning May 27, 2025 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

(It's important to note we are only looking at his earnings from projects in the United States, not in the U.K.) According to Simon Cowell's net worth is reportedly around $600 million. As for how he amassed a fortune as big as this, it comes from his work in both the music industry and his success as a TV personality. Given how Simon is currently a judge on America's Got Talent, we'll start with how much he currently makes on the NBC series. While Simon hasn't explicitly stated his salary for starring on AGT, multiple reports write he makes an estimated $45 million per season. What's more, it's seemingly similar to the amount of money he made while working on American Idol. As for Simon's time on American Idol, a 2005 article from the New York Times reported the TV personality initial salary as a judge began at $8 million per season. As the show quickly developed a massive following, Fox (the network that originally aired the show) gave him a five-year renewal that had him reportedly earning $36 million per season of . Although reports in 2009 inferred Simon was offered a new three-year contract worth around $45 million per season, he chose to walk away for AGT instead. So, how much did Simon make overall on American Idol? Given how he was on the show for nine seasons, it's likely he made around $204 million. Before Simon made a name for himself as a TV personality, he was well-known as a music executive. He initially got his start working for the record label EMI Music as a teenager, before leaving a year and a half after getting hired due to not being promoted. After working some time as an estate agent, he eventually made his way back to the music industry in 1980. "My mum, I remember her face, she said, 'I've got some really exciting news for you,'" he shared on The Diary of a CEO With Steven Bartlett podcast about the experience in October 2024. "I said, 'What?' She said, 'I think there's a better job for you at EMI music publishing and you're gonna have an interview.'" This led to a long-standing career in music, which also led him to create both Syco Music (which signed artists and groups like One Direction) and Syco TV. These ventures were later folded into a joint collaboration with Sony Music in 2019, now being called Syco Music Entertainment. Under this umbrella, Parade noted he got to buy out Sony's stake on the TV side to gain full control of the AGT franchise.

Stephen Fry issues stark warning to Sir Keir Starmer and demands 'rethink'
Sir Stephen Fry joined forces with Stanley Tucci and Brian Cox as they piled pressure on the government to U-turn on controversial welfare cuts. The Labour government estimates these measures will save more than £5bn a year by the end of the decade, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer insists that the current system is 'morally and economically indefensible'. Stephen, who moved to Los Angeles with his husband Elliott Spencer in 2016, urged the government to "rethink" these plans, while other stars said they "make no sense." Read more: Martin Lewis slams major power company for 'abominable' customer charges The English comedian, actor, writer, director, producer, and presenter has an estimated net worth of $40 million (£30.92m), according to Stephen said cuts should not be targeted at 'the most vulnerable and overlooked of all our population' and told the government: 'It's not too late to rethink this.' Scottish-born star Brian Cox said the government's plan regarding cuts 'makes no sense and will have a lasting impact on the lives of so many people already finding it difficult to afford life's essentials'. The American actor based in London, Stanley Tucci said 'the reality of these cuts will be parents in disabled families having to skip meals so that they can feed their children'. The biggest proposed change will be the new PIP (Personal Independence Payment) eligibility requirement, which will ensure that only those who score a minimum of 4 points in at least one daily living activity will be eligible for the daily living component of PIP. It is broken down into two parts: Daily living - for those who have a long-term physical or mental health condition Mobility part - for people who have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Liz Kendall, said the system was 'failing the very people it is supposed to help and holding our country back'. The MP also said she had rejected other proposals, including plans to bring in vouchers rather than cash for disabled people, means-testing PIP or freezing it. The Jonathan Ross Show is available to watch on ITV1 at 9.20pm on Saturday, March 22nd.
