Simon Cowell opens up about money anxiety despite massive success

Simon Cowell admitted he worries about his finances despite being considered one of the richest stars in showbiz thanks to his successful music career.

The 65-year-old confessed he hasn’t earned, “anywhere near as much money” as everyone thinks, as he told the How to Fail podcast: “I’m always worried about money.”

Head of Britain’s Got Talent claimed that he worries because the world is so precarious that he never feels at ease with his wealth.

Recalling his concerns that projects might be put on hold, the single parents said he rushed that release them during the early stages of the COVID pandemic.

Despite not typically following much on social media, he mentioned that he always worries about money, citing COVID as an example. He recalled how, out of curiosity, he first read about it on website after hearing about it.
