Reality star and music mogul Simon Cowell doesn’t come across as someone who would fret over his bank balance. Still, the music mogul has revealed he ‘always’ worries about money despite his sky-high success and staggering net worth.
Simon’s estimated worth is reported to be around £385 million. However, he has shared that the COVID-19 pandemic left him with financial woes, reports Mirror.co.uk.
Speaking on a new episode of the How To Fail Podcast, he said, “I always worry about money, because I think you have to”.
As per ‘Mirror.co.uk’, Simon continued to tell podcast host Elizabeth Day, “I remember reading it for the first time on a website and I don’t read a lot of stuff on social media, but I’d heard about it.
“So I was curious and the second day, the story got bigger to a point where I phoned one of my partners and said, I don’t like the look of this, I have a horrible feeling it’s gonna be like that movie Contagion. We need to get all of our shows into production around the world quicker this year”, he shared.
He added, “And we did. And when it happened, it was worse than I could have imagined, but when you think about that, the wars and everything else, the instability, what is safe? I mean, was it gold cash stock? I don’t think anything is safe any longer”.
Simon, who has been in the industry for over four decades, says he now follows the advice to ‘live on your money’ and enjoy it, but he is also aware of its precariousness. While he might be mindful of the riskiness of his capital, it doesn’t mean Simon has been one to scrimp—he boasts lavish homes worldwide, including an £8M Cotswolds mansion, flashy cars, and a reported private jet.
