"""The Daily Mail has some pics up today of Simon Cowell driving around LA in his black Bugatti Veyron. If you don't know, the Veyron is the fastest street-legal car in the world (or maybe second fastest, depending on who you believe) and costs around 1.4 million. It has a top speed just over 250mph, thanks to a W16 engine, which is basically two V8 engines in a W shape. The Mail says:

Cowell bought the car in Los Angeles last October, in a huge car-buying splurge that month which saw him scoop up a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe back in the UK. A snip in comparison to the Bugatti at just £300,000.
The reality TV multi-millionaire who is reported to be worth over £100million already owns a fleet of luxury cars, including a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.
In an interview with Top Gear he waxed lyricial about his Rolls Royce: "It's the most beautiful, most comfortable, best-engineered car ever built. I can hardly bring myself to say it but it's - oh, sod it! - perfect.
"When I drove the car I felt so good, I knew I had to have one. So, I spent £300,000 on one for my house here in LA.
"I'm going to pick up another when I get back to London and I am already on the waiting list for the 100EX cabriolet."

I don't think I'm alone when I say that Simon Cowell and his fabulous life can go **** themselves."""

lolol, any idea how many reality shows his production company owns? Take a wild guess what his contract is on JUST American Idol alone...

"In 2006, Cowell signed to two more record-breaking deals. In the USA, he agreed to remain as a judge on American Idol, earning £20 million ($40 million) per season for another 5 years."

You think he still afford a Veyron? Remember that's just for America Idol, that doesn't include American Inventor, America's Got Talent, the X Factor Grease Is The Word...then all the royalties from re-runs off the shows :tongue:

He had a Phantom sedan when it first came out so a Veyron isn't surprising.

I remember when Ashton Kutcher did that one episode of Punked when they pretended they stole his Phantom. If I remember correctly, he didn't seem that upset just confused. Either he has great insurance or he's just that loaded.

It sucks to think that there are people who aren't affected by the downward swing in the economy. He's still making 40 mil a year(on Idol alone) to be a smarta$$.

[MistaCee]

^^ Really I could do that lol. But congrats he made it so I guess he can do that stuff.

[ironchef]

He cleared over $80 million last year alone. And hes not a dumbass rapper who just throws their money away on bling, Cowell won't have a worry in the world for the rest of his life, nor would his kids and their kids and so on.

I hate American Idol but for some reason have a lot of respect for Simon Cowell.

[_Christian_]

With the amount of money he has, it's not a big deal for him to have a Veyron. I didn't know how wealthy he is though.

[Ronsam2006]
