Through building his empire, Simon has gained a multimillion dollar fortune. But it seems that the music industry doesn’t want to share the wealth with his son.
It’s important to understand the value of money, and if your parents have a big fortune, life can be easier, right?
But over time, we’ve seen many famous people say their kids won’t get any of their money. Simon Cowell is one of them – he truly believes that children should earn their own wealth.
“I’m going to leave my cash to someone. A charity most likely — kids and dogs. I don’t think in passing down from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added:
“Your legacy should be that you gave enough people a chance so they could succeed, and you shared your time with them.”
Currently, Simon Cowell has just one child – an 8-year-old boy named Eric.
When Simon met Eric’s mom, Lauren Silverman, she was married to Andrew Silverman who was a close friend of Cowell’s.
In 2013 it was revealed that they were expecting their first child together. Lauren was still married at the time but divorced by year’s end.
On Valentine’s Day 2014, Eric arrived and while Cowell felt thrilled about being a dad he struggled at first. He never thought he would become a father and wasn’t proud of his affair.
“It is not something I am proud of or wanted in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened,” he said.
But now he’s very happy! In many ways father and son are quite similar; according to Simon they enjoy the same things – Scooby Doo cartoons , Disney films ,and laughing at dogs!
“He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me! I adore him,” said America’s Got Talent judge.
Eric is named after Cowell’s late father who passed away in 1999. Recently ,Simon praised his son for making him stop getting fillers in his face because it scared Eric!
“There was a point where I might have gone too far! I saw an old picture recently & didn’t even recognize myself!” Simon told The Sun adding:
“Eric laughed so hard! Enough was enough; there are no fillers on my face now.”
Simon Cowell has built himself an entertainment empire but also found love & had an amazing son . He is working hard on recovering from his serious injury & hopefully will return as a judge on TV soon!
