We’re sure Simon Cowell is rippin’ seeing as he just about made it onto Forbes’ Highest-Paid Celebrities List.
The Daily Mail broke the news that Simon only managed to rake in £57 million during the course of the last year meaning that he dropped a place to tenth position.
Hold on a minute, is that the sound of the smallest violin ever being played? The man still bagged enough money to buy him more than a couple of houses and cars.
It’s clear that while Simon’s television shows including X Factor are losing viewers, his bank balance isn’t losing too many pounds because of it.

Simon is behind the X Factor but recently its popularity has been waning.
He’s also still among some of the world’s biggest stars including Steven Spielberg, Dr Dre and Jerry Bruckheimer who all made it into the top ten. Oprah claimed the number one spot earning over £100 million, twice as much as Simon.
And who said the most powerful people in the world are all men?
