Default Simon Cowell Shows Off His $1million Sports car

Simon Cowell is certainly not shy about splashing the cash, as the music mogul was seen zipping around Los Angeles in a $1million runaround.


Simon was seen tooling around town in his Bugatti Veyron, the world's most expensive and fastest street-legal car.



With an excess of 1000 horsepower, the Veyron - built by Volkswagen - has top speed of 253.81 mph (408.47 km/h).



But clearly, poseur Simon will be content to maintain cruising speeds on LA's wide boulevards.






I wonder how much he makes....

man, hes so gosh darn arrogant its hillarious.

a million dollars is nothing when it comes to hollywood. im pretty sure he makes that much in one episode of American idol. and dont forget he has also has the rights to the European version of that show, British Idol or something, lol.

I was watching some show (prob TMZ) where he and Seacrest (he urks me way more than Simon) were leaving some restaurant/bar Simon was with his girl and they were parked back-to-back. Simon commented something like, "Ryan is doing his part to be Green (as in environmentally friendly)." SImon was being driven ina Phantom and Ryan was being driven in a Bentley Coupe.

Heck, if I had that kind of money I'd be rocking all sorts of exotic sports cars. Maybe alternate between 4 different ones each week of the month

nice car!

seriously, when you are earning 40m a year? you really don't care much what you buy. 1 mil for a car is nothing for them

That car is ugly. With 1001hp, it still gets beaten on Nurburgring by GT-R. Except being super exclusive, I don't see why people would pay that much money for such an ugly thing.
