Cowell gets top 10 hit in music rich list
The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent boss has seen his wealth soar by a further €38.8 million in the past year, according to the Sunday Times Rich List to be published this weekend. Mr Cowell’s updated €222m fortune places him at sixth in the list of British and Irish music millionaires.
However, Mr Cowell is still some distance behind the likes of rival Simon Fuller, Paul McCartney, Cameron Mackintosh, Andrew Lloyd Webber and poll topper Clive Calder who has amassed a fortune of €1.4 billion through the sale of his Zomba records in 2002.
