SIMON COWELL’S GOT A NOSE FOR TALENT

The 18th season of America’s Got Talent (May 30 on NBC) returns with Cowell, 63, once again at the judges’ table, along with Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara, as they oversee a new group of aspiring performers competing for the $1 million grand prize. Following are some fun facts about the “Brit Wit,” who is the creator of the Got Talent franchise, as well as a judge. Cowell wasn’t always rich (his 2023 net worth is estimated at $600 Million). He started his career in the mailroom at EMI Music Publishing, a job his father helped him land.
