Simon's estimated worth is reported to be around £385 million. However, he has shared that the Covid-19 pandemic left him with financial woes, reports 'Mirror.co.uk'.

Speaking on a new episode of the How To Fail Podcast, he said, "I always worry about money, because I think you have to".

As per 'Mirror.co.uk', Simon continued to tell podcast host Elizabeth Day, "I remember reading it for the first time on a website and I don't read a lot of stuff on social media, but I'd heard about it.

"So I was curious and the second day, the story got bigger to a point where I actually phoned one of my partners and I said, I don't like the look of this, I have a horrible feeling it's gonna be like that movie contagion. I think we need to get all of our shows into production around the world quicker this year", he shared.

He added, "And we did. And when it happened, it was obviously worse than I could have imagined, but when you think about that, the wars and everything else, the instability, what is safe? I mean, was it gold cash stock? I don't think anything is safe any longer".

Simon, who has been in the industry for over four decades, says he now follows the advice to 'live in your money' and enjoy it, but is also aware of it being precarious. While he might be aware of the riskiness of his capital, it doesn't mean Simon has been one to scrimp - boasting lavish homes across the world, including an £8M Cotswolds mansion, flashy cars and a reported private jet.

Here are 5 authentic Indian perspective comments on Simon Cowell's financial worries despite his massive wealth:

It's surprising to hear such worries from someone so wealthy! In India, we have a saying "dhanda bada ya baniya chhota" (business may be big but the merchant remains small) - seems even global stars think like small shopkeepers when it comes to money. But with ₹3200 crore net worth, his worries seem unnecessary no?

This shows money can't buy peace of mind. Many middle-class Indians saving ₹5000 per month probably sleep better than billionaires! But I appreciate his honesty - the pandemic did make everyone rethink financial security. Maybe he should visit India to see real financial struggles 😅

When you have so much, you have more to lose. His concerns about instability are valid - we saw how Adani's empire shook with one report. But buying £8M mansions while worrying about money? Thoda balance chahiye na! (Need some balance!)

Interesting perspective! In Indian culture, we're taught to save for rainy days, but also to detach from wealth. Maybe Simon needs some of our philosophy - earn well, save wisely, but don't let money control your happiness. His private jet won't give him peace ✨

First world problems! While he's worrying about his millions, our farmers worry about next season's crops. But credit to him for being prudent - many celebrities blow their wealth and end up broke. His caution might be why he's stayed rich for 40 years.
