11. Simon Cowell 5’8″

With his larger than life attitude, it’s hard to believe that the former American Idol judge stands at only 5’8” tall. If you ever have the misfortune to run into the cocky producer, don’t mention his height (or lack thereof) to him. It’s been reported that Cowell allegedly wears shoe lifts to measure up to his big personality. Hmm…with his super-cocky attitude and lack of stature, Simon reminds of  Napoleon Bonaparte with his 5’6″, who was unceremoniously defeated at the battle of Waterloo.
