Top 10 Richest Dropouts Who Didn't Need a College Degree
#8 Simon Cowell
Simon was an ordinary British kid who was born into a middle-class upbringing and dropped out of school at 16 years old. But how does a high school dropout who is unable to sing or play an instrument become one of the most well-known names in the music industry?
Simon Cowell's success, as we all know it today, didn't come easy. After his decision to drop off as early as 16 years old, Cowell went to work as a mailman for a British record label, EMI. He didn't like the job, so he decided to leave. Through his father's connection, he was re-hired and started working as an assistant for scouting new talents and artist development. This is where he started to develop his critical eye.
But yet, he was able to make the music industry the biggest source that made him a fortune.
"My talent is for creating things that the public likes," he said.
