He can make or break careers and once boasted that he sells more records than Bruce Springsteen. That confidence has helped make Simon Cowell a success as a judge on "American Idol."

Cowell has been a judge on British shows "Pop Idol" and "The X Factor," and he produces other contest shows such as "American Inventor" and "America's Got Talent."
