Simon Cowell

Television producer and founder Syco Entertainment

Simon Cowell is best known for his caustic attitude as a judge on the X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, where he has been a successful star-maker of artists like the world-beating One Direction. Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis and Il Divo have also emerged from Cowell’s instruction and have sold a staggering 46 million albums between them. Cowell left school and started work as a post boy at EMI Music Publishing in 1997 where he worked until 1982, when he founded his own company Fanfare records. When Fanfare hit bankruptcy, Cowell had to move back in with his parents due to his debts. A far cry from where Cowell stands now as the most powerful TV producer and music executive in the UK.
