Simon Cowell – X Factor supremo – £179,658 per day
The X Factor supremo Simon Cowell is responsible for many of the prime-time TV talent shows on both sides of the Atlantic.
With fingers in Britain’s Got Talent as well as American Idol and America’s Got Talent, along with his Syco entertainment company, Simon is doing rather nicely, thank you.
He likes to think that the world is at his feet, and earnings that are 457 times greater than the PM each day, do not help to disprove this.
