I'm skimmin thru his bio at Simon Cowell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but i don't see it in there. Do you have a link to a source saying that he conceived the original idea? Because all the sources I read says that Fuller is the creator, even the credits on the AI always says created by Simon Fuller.

I'm just kind of curious why some people here are arguing that the original poster's inquiry about the "top celebrity entrepreneurs" referred specifically to celebrities who then became entrepreneurs and why other people are arguing that it referred specifically to entrepreneurs who then became celebrities? Why are you making your assumption when the original poster clearly did not refer to one or the other? Why does it even matter?

You're right it probably doesnt matter yet you choose to post about it.

The one source that comes to mind at the moment is a Business 2.0 article from 2 or 3 years ago.
