But at least he makes significantly more than Paula:
“American Idol” former executive producer Nigel Lythgoe recently revealed that Simon Cowell is earning $36 million a year from the show.
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.
That said, every dime that goes to Paula is supporting some kind of drug habit, so paying her less can also be seen as not enabling substance abuse.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
I’m sorry, what are you talking about? We should be helping Paula? I’m really confused as to how your comment relates to my post.
Thanks! Karen
