SIMON COWELL

Simon Cowell is an English record executive, entrepreneur, and television personality. He has been a judge in talent competitions on British television shows The X Factor UK, Pop Idol, and Britain’s Got Talent, as well as the American talent competition shows The X Factor US, American Idol, and America’s Got Talent. Among his business investments is his British entertainment company Syco, where he’s the principal, chief executive, and founder.

The British media celebrity’s career started after he gained decent success as a talent scout, record producer, and consultant in the UK music industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Since then, Cowell’s success has flourished tremendously. So on his 48th birthday, he treated himself with a bit of luxury, a brand new Bugatti Veyron worth around a million dollars. The Veyron is fitted with an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine with a power output of 987 horsepower that has a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and can reach a maximum speed of 431 km/h.
