Simon Cowell: TV Personality – $600 Million

Simon Cowell is arguably one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, and there’s a good reason for that. After coming up with the beloved ‘Got Talent’ franchise, there’s no way the man would be any less famous than he is right now. In addition, Simon’s brainchild has made him an impressive net worth totaling $600 million.

This staggering amount comes mainly from syndication rights and advertisements on the show’s spot. At the same time, the franchise’s popularity has broken borders and traversed continents, meaning Simon’s royalty checks alone should be enough to give him an incredible pension plan.
