Simon Cowell got his own job in music after he dropped out of school. His father was able to hire him as an assistant at record label EMI, where his responsibilities were to find new talent and develop artists.<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell \u2013 rise to fame<\/h2>\n

As he moved up the ladder at EMI, he went on to start two music labels of his own, though these didn\u2019t achieve any level of success.<\/p>\n

He moved back home to live with his parents; something that could\u2019ve broken anyone. For Simon Cowell, though, it was a \u201crelief\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything went \u2013 my house, my Porsche, all the things I thought were important,\u201d he\u00a0explained<\/a>. \u201cI had nice food every night at home. I was quite happy, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Cowell started over and founded S Records Label<\/em>, to which he signed boybands like 5ive and Westlife. He also signed artist Jerome, who recorded the Righteous Brothers\u2019 hit\u00a0Unchained Melody<\/em>\u00a0in 1995. It turned out to be a top-selling single.<\/p>\n

However, it was through talent shows that Simon himself would rise to fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy talent is for creating things the public will like,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m interested only in making money, for myself, and the people I work for. I mean, that\u2019s absolutely the only criterion I attach.\u201d<\/p>\n

n 2001, the world of entertainment would witness the birth of a new entity. Together with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell created the program\u00a0Pop Idol<\/em>, on which he starred as a judge. The show became a smash-hit among the viewers, and Simon became a mega-celebrity overnight.<\/p>\n

His tight T-shirt and now classic catchphrase, \u201cI don\u2019t mean to be rude but,\u201d became a trademark. Just one year later, Fox picked up the show. Now it was headed for the US, and Simon had all of a sudden become a celebrity across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

The first season finale \u2013 which Kelly Clarkson won \u2013\u00a0 attracted more than 26 million viewers, and Simon quickly understood that there was a huge amount of money to be made here.<\/p>\n

Simon was transformed into a multi-millionaire in just a couple of years. The talent shows, including\u00a0X Factor\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>,\u00a0generated huge amounts of money for him, as well as other record companies, and in 2006, he landed a new deal.<\/p>\n

Cowell remained a judge on\u00a0American Idol<\/em> for another five years \u2013 and this made him a great amount of money.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
