Boss Simon Cowell


Simon Cowell is bigger than Bruce Springsteen. The 'American Idol' judge and music producer believes he is worth five times more to record label Sony BMG than the legendary rocker because he sells more albums. Simon told US TV show '60 Minutes': "I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen, sure. I mean, in the last five years, I've probably sold over 100 million records. "I sell all those records the biggest artist on the planet - 'American Idol'. Every single Idol winner is now signed through Sony BMG. And this applies to all the countries we sell Idol to, which is over 30 countries." Springsteen has reportedly signed a new contract with the record label worth $100 million.

When asked if his own deal is in the same league as Springsteen's, Simon would only say "A hundred million - that's a great deal. For him it's a good deal."
