Simon Cowell has to be one of the most famous names in the music industry. Thanks to his talent and sense for business, he made millions over the years.

When it comes to his personal life, what we know of this incredible man of many talents is that he is a great supporter of different charities and is a huge animal lover.

Since 2013, Simon has been together with long-time girlfriend and the mother to his son, Lauren Silverman. When the world learned the two were dating, the news caused a stir because they allegedly started an af_fair while Lauren was still married to former husband Andrew Silverman who happened to be one of Simon’s closest friends.

In 2014, the couple welcomed son Eric.

“Meeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,” Cowell told Hello Magazine.

“It’s hard when you have kids at my age but it’s amazing. When you work as hard as I do, you think, ‘What’s it all going to be for at the end?’ Then somebody like him comes along and it’s all worthwhile.”

Thanks to his shows and his sense for business, Simon has made $600 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

However, it looks like Eric won’t inherit his father’s fortune. 

Why, you may wonder. Well, that’s because Simon believes his son should create fortune on his own.
