Simon Cowell could earn over $100 million dollars if he stayed as an American Idol judge next year! Simon made $36 million last season and he’s being offered 3 to 4 times as much for the next season. You do the math.. that means he can make up to $144 million. While this seems like a ridiculously large amount of money to be paid for criticizing people, it’s afterall Simon Cowell!
