Cowell's Idol-Sized Salary
Thursday, May 04, 2006
A new book claims to shed some light on just how much money Anerican Idol's star judge is making. In his new book, Desperate Networks, New York Times writer Bill Carter claims Simon Cowell rakes an idol-sized $36 million bucks a year. He also says the show does not air in the fall because Cowell is busy producing the British reality series, X-Factor, which he also appears in. The book also claims that while other hit shows offer about 24 hours of new programming a year, Idol offers about 45 hours of programming.
