It's not news that Cowell makes some serious coin — he's been ranked in Forbes — but the approximately $22,000 per minute (according to Lythgoe's calculations) that Cowell earns has fellow "Idol" judge Paula Abdul especially angry. Rumors put Abdul's salary at closer to $5 to $8 million per season.
"Paula knew that Simon was getting paid more, but she never imagined it was this much more," says a source who works with Abdul. "This could really put her in a bad way."
If that sounds like it doesn't bode well for those on the show who must deal with Abdul, well, that's because it doesn't.
As for why there's such a salary discrepancy, Lythgoe told an Australian newspaper it's because "it is believed (Cowell) brings more to the table."
The only thing Paula brings to the table are prescription drugs, liquor, and possibly a sack of weed,
Not that we're complaining!
