1647...Simon Cowell Offered A Pay Raise

To 100 million, that is 100,000,000.00, dollars a year.

Plus, presumably, benefits.

From www.splashnews.com comes this piece:

Music boss Simon Cowell was offered $100 million to stay on American Idol but said "there is more to life than money".

The 50-year-old star recently revealed he will step down from his position as a judge on the hit US talent show at the end of the current series.

His friend and fellow Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan, 44, has told how the star was offered a large sum to return but turned it down.

Morgan said to UK's Live magazine: "I've rarely seen Simon look so relaxed and happy. He's finally concluded his deal to leave American Idol and launch The X Factor in the States, and the relief of now being able to control every aspect of every show he stars in is obvious.

"And to all those who say he's only interested in money, I can confirm that he was offered $100 million to stay on American Idol - and declined. 'There is more to life than money, Piers,' sighed Simon."



It seems to me that the only people who have the luxury to say that money isn't important are people who have money.

Bags of money.
