It looks like Simon Cowell has little to worry about with a
baby on the way as far as expenses.
According to USAToday, the 54-year-old TV talent competition
judge is tied with Howard Stern for first place on Forbes' annual list of the highest paid TV/Radio personalities. Both have earned an estimated
$95 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
Cowell, who previously was a judge on Fox's American
Idol and now is a judge on the network's X-Factor, makes
most of his money from stakes in X-Factor and Got
Talent, which have franchises around the world. He also has a record label,
Syco, and works with popular musical acts such as Leona Lewis and One
Direction.
Shock jock Stern is now appearing in his second season on
the judges' panel at America's Got Talent.
Forbes says the list was compiled after talking
to producers, managers, agents and other experts to estimate how much each
celebrity earned from entertainment-related work.
Glenn Beck is No. 3 on the list. The former Fox News
personality took to the Internet in 2011 where he has a subscription site, The
Blaze. Forbes estimates he earned $90 million.
Oprah Winfrey is at No. 4 on the list with estimated
earnings of $77 million. Dr. Phil is #5 and Rush Limbaugh #6.
