It’s been a rough few years for Simon Cowell, but he’s now confirmed what we all suspected about his son. I don’t care what you think about the man himself, but this must have been an extremely hard decision. Check the comments đđ»
Over the few couple of years, the business mogul went through so much. He suffered two accidents. First, he fell off the stairs and then he injured his back severely following an electric scooter accident.
Following the scare which left him injured and forced him to undergo back surgery, the musician and producer tried to warn others of the dangers of electric bikes. âThe one I had was basically a motorcycle with an electric engine when you have to wear a proper crash helmet, leathers. This thing was nuts,â he said. âI didnât know how powerful it was before I got on it. And I fly 6-8 feet in the air and landed on my spine.â
In 2014, the couple welcomed son Eric.
âMeeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,â Cowell told Hello Magazine.
âItâs hard when you have kids at my age but itâs amazing. When you work as hard as I do, you think, âWhatâs it all going to be for at the end?â Then somebody like him comes along and itâs all worthwhile.â
Thanks to his shows and his sense for business, Simon has made $600 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. However, it looks like Eric wonât inherit his fatherâs fortune. Why, you may wonder. Well, thatâs because Simon believes his son should create fortune on his own.
âIâm going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably â kids and dogs. I donât believe in passing on from one generation to another,â Simon told The Mirror and added, âYour 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.â
