HOLLYWOOD - Music mogul Simon Cowell is the third richest TV star in the world, trailing only Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Seinfeld on a new Forbes list.
The talent-show guru earned a staggering $45 million between June 2006 and June 2007, propelling him towards the top of the high-earners chart--thanks to the success of American Idol and The X Factor.

The top 10 are as follows:
1. Oprah Winfrey--$260 million
2. Jerry Seinfeld--$60 million
3. Simon Cowell--$45 million
4. David Letterman--$40 million
5. Donald Trump--$32 million
6. Jay Leno--$32 million

8. "Judge" Judy Sheindlin--$30 million
9. George Lopez--$26 million
10. Kiefer Sutherland--$22 million
