According to the exclusive list, which will be revealed in full on ITV1 tonight, Cowell's fortune has grown by a massive £40 million over the past 12 months.The ballooning wealth of the X Factor and American Idol judge means that the 47-year-old now sits at 700th position on the list – up from 944th place last year.
With an estimated fortune of £100 million, Cowell is now officially pop's highest climber in the rich list chart, overtaking former Take That star Robbie Williams, whose successful solo career has helped him net some £95 million - £5 million more than last year.
A total of 37 professionals from the music industry are included on the list, although at 33, Williams is one of the youngest artists to receive a mention, with no pop star under the age of 30 ranked among Britain's richest individuals.
Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney also unsurprisingly makes the grade, ranked 102nd on the list with a fortune estimated to stand at £725 million.
