New York | Simon Cowell says he's
bigger than The Boss.
In an interview to air Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes," the "American
Idol" judge says he's worth five times more to Sony BMG than Bruce
Springsteen.
"I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen, sure," Cowell says of
the 57-year-old rocker, who signed a contract that was reported to
be in the neighborhood of $100 million.
"I mean, in the last five years, I've probably sold over 100
million records. If [Springsteen] got one hundred [million
dollars], I should have got five hundred [million dollars]," he
says.
Cowell says he sells all those records because he's signed "the
biggest artist on the planet" - Fox network's "American
Idol."
