Bigbrother  is the reality show trending now but most of us don't know the brain box behind the reality show and many others he has invented.

Here is something you should know about the inventor of Bigbrother and other reality show you watch....

His name is John de Mol Jr. (Johannes Hendrikus Hubert born 24 April 1955 in The Hague) is a Dutch media tycoon. De Mol, a well-known personality in the Netherlands, acquired his fortune producing television programmes. In 1997-1999 he developed the highly popular reality television series Big Brother with his eponymous production company, John de Mol Produkties. In 1994 his company merged with Joop van den Ende TV-Producties into Endemol, but it still functioned on its own. He also produced Fear Factor, Love Letters, 1 vs. 100 and Deal or No Deal (Miljoenenjacht) for Endemol. De Mol sold his share of Endemol in 2000 to Telefonica, but continued to serve as creative director until 2004. In 2005, he was listed on the Forbes Magazine list of the 500 richest people in the world.

In May 2007 De Mol returned as one of the main shareholders of Endemol together with the Italian company Mediaset of Silvio Berlusconi in a 2.6 billion Euro deal

In 2010, a new reality competition series, The Voice of Holland, was launched by De Mol. It was an incredible success in the Netherlands and the formula was sold to several other countries around the globe. The Voice (of America) launched on NBC on 27 April 2011 with de Mol and Mark Burnett as executive producers. In the Voice, the singing auditions are 'blind': the jury is turned with their back to the competitors. Once 'selected' (by pushing a button), the juror turns towards the competitor. This concept, the creation of de Mol and Dutch singer Roel van Velzen, makes it "all about the voice." After these blind auditions, the coaches will train their competitors through knock-out battles and public voting rounds until there is one competitor left, who will be named as 'The Voice'.

De Mol was formerly married to singer and actress Willeke Alberti. The actor Johnny de Mol is their

son. Outside of television, de Mol controls a large private equity fund which, at one time, owned significant shares of car manufacturer Spyker Cars and telecommunications company Versatel. John's sister, broadcaster and actress Linda de Mol, presents, or appears in, some of Endemol's programmes, including the original Dutch version of Deal or No Deal, Miljoenenjacht (Hunt for Millions). She also presented one of Endemol's very first productions, The DJ Kat Show

What I don't like so much is people who - how do you say this? - who make judgments over the genre of reality like it's television from the devil, and that's something that I don't like because I think everybody should watch what they like. It's a free world. It's a form of democracy. If you like it, watch. If you don't like it, don't watch. John de Mol, Jr. Reality, Democracy, World

 Working on being creative in the TV world is endless. It never stops. It's a challenge that never disappears.

“No, no, not for one second,” he insists. “I’m so much a guy behind the scenes. I enjoy so much creating the circumstances. I am not so much someone who likes to be up front.”

In Holland, every Monday evening my creative team meets to discuss fresh new ideas. We try to look at what's happening in the world. Are there trends?

 In Holland, every Monday evening my creative team meets to discuss fresh new ideas. We try to look at what's happening in the world. Are there trends? Are there new developments we should be aware of?

And regularly we heard that people are uncertain about the future. People are sick and tired of the rules and regulations.

“There is never going to be a moment where you can say, ‘Now, we’ve done everything. We don’t need to come up with new ideas anymore,'” de Mol says. “Working on being creative in the TV world is endless. It never stops. It’s a challenge that never disappears.”

Last year, the Talpa team sensed that people around the globe were dissatisfied. “They were worried about their future, about the mortgage on their houses, and we thought, ‘Well, the world is not so good at the moment. So what would happen if you would allow people to try it again and to create a new world?’ That was the beginning of an idea, but it still wasn’t a television format and not a TV show,” de Mol says. “It took us three or four months to workit out, and, well, that’s how Utopia began.”

“I’m a shareholder in three networks in Holland. That allows me to put ideas that we create in Holland on air in Holland, and if it works, then we distribute the show’s format globally,” de Mol says, noting, “When it works in Holland, when it’s a real success in Holland, 99 out of 100 times, it works internationally. Look at my track record: All of the big hits we created in Holland worked globally.”

“I think that the only thing that we learned in Holland that we changed for the rest of the world–because Utopia is starting in the next six months in 10 to 12 countries–is that we allowed the people to bring in too much stuff. So they’re bringing in substantially less in the U.S., and the amount of money we’ve given them is less than what we did in Holland. What we noticed in Holland is they had everything organized much too quickly, much too soon. It was too easy,” he says.

When casting for reality shows, there are basic rules–you want to find leaders and followers and people with different thoughts on how the world should be. You are looking for all kinds of characters. Those guidelines were top of mind for the producers of Utopia, but they also needed to find people with useful skills given the aim of the show. “If you want to give these people a fair chance to survive, you need, apart from the character casting a casting process based on skills,” de Mol says. “You need a few guys or girls who know how to build water pipes, how to create electricity, how to deal with cows because if you don’t have these people, well, everyone is doomed, essentially.”

Now that you know, I hope you share it with friends and family....
