The X Factor boss is probably one of the wealthiest British celebrities in the television business, yet for some reason he just bought... a scooter. No, it’s not a classic collectable nor is it a piece of art, it’s just a regular Vespa two-wheeler. Well, maybe it’s not really that regular since it appears he payed £10,000 ($15,000) for it.
Yep, the same Simon Cowell who was seen driving a custom 1932 Ford Hot Rod a couple of years ago. The classic beauty was built by Galpin Auto Sports, the world-famous Beverly Hills-based auto shop. Yes, the same 55-year old television star who Time Magazine named one of the 100 most influential people in the world that has a net worth of about $464 million (£300 million).
We are talking about the same man that loves cruising the roads with an all-black 1970 Ford Bronco and who sold his Bugatti Veyron at auction last year.
We are looking at a car enthusiast obviously, one that affords mainly any ride he wishes. So here we are asking what is it with this scooter that made the music mogul buy one? According to Sun Motors’ source, he ordered the limited edition Italian two-wheeler after having one briefly in Miami.
“He has a big car collection but this time he thought he’d spend some cash on a scooter,” the source said. Is this good, old care for the environment? Probably not. It could however help Simon get to work faster, considering the busy traffic in London. It could also be just a toy he felt like buying because he can.
