Simon is Raking It In

Simon Cowell, who currently oversees Britain's "The X-Factor" (picture American Idol but everyone has an English accent) is currently the highest paid British TV star of all time. He just got a £20m contract (about 39 million dollars). At least he's not a Scrooge with his moeny - the Daily Mail reports that he "is preparing to fly himself and his family first class to Barbados for Christmas." He also bought himself "a £225,000 black custom-built Bentley Arnage T limousine with that most showbiz of optional extras - mirrored privacy glass." That car is worth about $440,000. Merry freaking Christmas, huh?
