Cowell remained a judge on American Idol for another five years – and this made him a great amount of money.
Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson were the three judges when American Idol premiered. It started out as an interesting project, but it quickly grew to be one of the most popular shows on television, changing many people’s lives and giving the audience world class artists.
Two of the most notable winners over the years have been Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson – in the future, many more will surely come.
Simon stayed on the show for a total of nine seasons. He also created The X Factor for both the US and UK, and founded the production companies Syco TV, Syco Film, and Syco Music.
Made $36 million in one year
Cowell was the judge on both The X Factor in the US and UK. At the same time, he was also judge, as well as executive producer, on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.
Even though he was a judge on many shows, one thing stayed the same. His raw, almost rude, attitude was always present. But at the same time, he had no problem with getting emotional when he heard something beautiful.
At the same time as Simon’s been seen laughing at funny auditions, he’s also been able to laugh all the way to the bank.
According to CN, Simon Cowell made a staggering $36 million dollars in 2008 alone. According to Celebritynetworth.com, the media mogul earned $45 million in 2017, and the year after $41 million. In 2020, Simon Cowell bagged more than $50 million.
In total, Simon Cowell has a net worth of $600 million. He donates a portion of his money every year to different organizations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he donated $1.5 million to Feeding America and Feeding Britain.

With all this money, you can do pretty much anything you want. To that end, Cowell’s bought himself a huge Malibu mansion just outside Los Angeles, California, and has focused quite a bit on altering his appearance.
