Simon Cowell is Feeling Lucky

Posted by Adam

Simon CowellSimon Cowell says his career success is down to “being extraordinarily lucky”.

The American Idol judge — who is worth at least $200m — is set to celebrate his 50th birthday on Saturday.

“What is there to be excited about turning 50?” Cowell told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.

“Can’t we just pretend it is not going to happen?

“Seriously, I feel exactly the same now turning 50 as I did when I was 40 or 30. I am enjoying myself.”

“I happen to think that I am just extraordinarily lucky,” Cowell said of his biggest achievement.

“I am doing something that I am passionate about and that I enjoy doing.”

Cowell says he doesn’t want people buying him gifts for his birthday.

“There are a couple of charities I am involved with that would appreciate a donation,” he said.

“But please, no presents from anyone.”
