Simon Cowell X Factor $5 Million Dollar Man

Simon Cowell is one of the wealthiest and possibly shrewdest businesspersons in the entertainment game. It makes sense that a man with the bank account and ego of Cowell's, would want more money, more attention and a bigger purse for the winner of his Americanized British Import, The X Factor. The winner of the competition not only gets serious hands on mentorship from Simon Cowell but $5 Million record prize.
