Simon Cowell went from an unknown record company worker to one of the most influential people in show business. The British producer and TV star has created a huge empire for himself and has been the star judge on several talent shows. The talent shows brought Simon a different kind of audience, and his unique, often brutally honest approach has proven rather popular. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s made so much money, and we’re talking a lot of money. In fact, Simon Cowell’s been paid millions and millions of dollars over the years, with new reports highlighting just how much he made per season of American Idol.
Simon Cowell – botox
With all this money, you can do pretty much anything you want. To that end, Cowell’s bought himself a huge Malibu mansion just outside Los Angeles, California, and has focused quite a bit on altering his appearance. For example, the media mogul has had several injections and Botox in his face over the past few years. According to Hello Magazine, he was actually one of the first male television stars to admit to having Botox. In 2018, Cowell told the Sun he had undergone a non-surgical “sewing bioplastic-infused thread” facelift.
Cowell added that his using of Botox actually “added 10 years” to his television career, which has been majorly successful. However, he admits that he probably went a little bit too far. In more recent times, though he’s still working hard with several of his businesses, Simon has become a family man as well. In 2013, he and his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, announced that they were expecting their first child. On Valentine’s Day of 2014, they welcomed their son, Eric.
Simon Cowell – hospital visit
Cowell’s family is living their best life, but at the same time, Simon has had several problems with his health. In October 2017, he was rushed to the hospital after fainting and falling down the stairs. His representative described it as “a scary morning”, and it was later determined that the fall was due to low blood pressure. Following the accident, he met with a doctor who told him he had to change his diet and not consume red meat, wheat, dairy, gluten or sugar. “I’m thinking, what about alcohol? That’s all I care about,” Cowell recalled in an interview with Extra. “And he said, ‘Maybe not quite as much as you had before’.”
“I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk”
Cowell was “doing” fine following the six-hour surgery, which included the placement of a metal rod. Things really could’ve turned out way worse than they did. It forced him to miss the beginning of last season’s live show America’s Got Talent. “Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time,” Cowell wrote on Twitter, thanking fans and friends for their “kind messages.”
Simon Cowell reveals his son Eric’s words after surgery
Simon Cowell was said to have been testing a new electric bike with son Eric. The hardest part for him was recovering from the accident at home, which he thought was embarrassing to do in front of his son. “I was so embarrassed about coming home looking about 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws,” I said, ‘Lauren, I just don’t know how to explain it to Eric.’ Cowell explained. “She obviously said something to him because he came in, and I was lying in bed, and he said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the sweetest thing, and it meant a lot.”
Simon Cowell son
Through building his empire, Simon has earned himself a multimillion-dollar fortune. However, it turns out that the musician doesn’t want to share the money with his child. It’s essential to learn the importance of money, and if you have parents with a considerable fortune, things can be expected to be easier, right? But over the years, we have seen celebrities declare that their children will not inherit a penny of their fortune. Simon Cowell is one of these – because he genuinely believes his children should create their own fortune.
“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added: “Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.” Eric is named after Cowell’s late father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, who died in 1999. Recently, Simon also praised his son for making him stop getting fillers and injections in his face. It went so far that Eric got scared by his father’s face.
Simon Cowell has created himself a media empire. But also, he’s met the love of his life and had a wonderful son. He’s doing all he can to recover from his horrible injury, and hopefully, we’ll see him as a judge on television before too long.
