Hey. Are you in the mood for another meaningless Forbes List? The latest is a Top 10 of the Highest Paid TV Personalities, and Simon Cowell tops the list!
With a couple of exceptions (Hi, Ellen Degeneres, Ryan Seacrest) the list could easily be renamed “The World’s Biggest Assclowns.”
Radio personality, Howard Stern, employed by Simon as a judge on his America’s Got Talent reality competition show claims the number 2 spot. Got Talent is the biggest selling television franchise in the world (Bet you were expecting it to be X Factor!) and where Simon earns much of his wealth. He also earns huge revenue from the world wide stars he has discovered, such as One Direction.
Of course, American Idol host and media mogul, Ryan Seacrest made the list. Check back in 10 years when the ambitious business man tops these types of lists. Ryan is going to rule the world some day.
