The snarky judge on TV's top-rated show, "American Idol," reportedly makes $36 million a year thanks to the rich contract renewal he inked this year. He is also the brain trust behind three other reality shows, including NBC's upcoming "America's Got Talent." Cowell frequently sells his show concepts abroad, and recently re-upped his contract for the U.K. hit show "X Factor." His Syco music label is responsible for such blockbuster acts as Il Divo.
