X Factor’s Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell, has revealed that he will leave most of his fortune to charity when he dies.The 48-year-old has shown a surprisingly soft side by telling the press that he wants to leave £90 million to children’s charities and animal welfare charities in his will. Mr Cowell is thought to have earned around £100million for his infamously harsh criticism of wannabe popstars as a judge on hit TV show The X Factor. He revealed to the Sun that he began mulling over how best to use his money after talking with his mother Julie when they were on holiday in Barbados over Christmas. Mr Cowell was quoted in the newspaper as saying: “Mum asked, ”Have you ever made a will?” I said, ”Thanks a lot!”. But it got me thinking.”
When asked whether his family or girlfriend Terri Seymour might be put out that he was thinking of giving his money to charity instead of leaving it to them when he is no longer around, he said: “Hopefully I’ll be a lot older when it happens, so it won’t affect them much!” Although Mr Cowell is known as Mr Nasty, it is not the first time he has shown his charitable side. He donated £10,000 to set up a dog sanctuary in Barbados and has promoted charity work on TV.
First it was Warren Buffet, and now we have to add Simon Cowell to the list of people who should go to the top of the class. If he means what he decided on a beautiful Barbados vacation in December just past, then we promise to change our opinion of him.
How the hell does one give away 90 million pounds?
