Ever wondered what Simon Cowell gets paid for laughing at the inept, the clueless and the downright idiotic US public? Well, click "Read Whole Story" to find out...
$45m. Yep, $45m. That's roughly £22.5m, and just for 'American Idol'. Not to be sneered at. Unlike most of his victims on the show.
This has been revealed on the
Celebitchy, along with the income of a whole load of other US telly stars that you've probably never heard of and care about even less.
Also on the list is serial philanderer Scrubs' Zach Braff, at $6.3m, CSI's William Petersen at $500k, Charlie Sheen (for 'Two And A Half Men') at $350k and the UK's own Hugh Laurie at $300k for 'House'. Queen of the pile remains Oprah Winfrey at a staggering $260m a year. Fuck.
Anyway, lend us a tenner will you, Simon?
