Cowell/Abdul Salary Difference

Published by ff at 9:20 pm under Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell Edit This

If I were Paula Abdul, I would be pissed!  According to this article I read on MSNBC.com, Nigel Lythgoe reports that Simon Cowell is making a whopping $36 million a year on American Idol.  What is Paula Abdul making in comparison?  Abdul is raking in approximately $5 million - $8 million dollars a year.  That’s nothing to sneeze at but compared to Simon Cowell, that’s a rip off. 

The article says that Paula knew that Simon was making more money than her but she never realized he was making that much more.  I’m sure this can cause a lot of problems if she lets the news work on her emotionally.
