Simon Cowell’s Mother’s Will Revealed

admin

Simon Cowell’s mum, late Julie Cowell, who died in July has left him a share of her £700,000 ($1.06million) fortune in her will, which was made public today reports Daily Mail.

The music mogul who was said to be close to his mother and is reportedly worth £355million ($540million), will share the bulk of the former dancer’s estate with his brother Nicholas, three half-brothers John, Tony and Michael, and his half-sister June.
Julie Cowell, whose stage name was Julie Brett, was also kind to her grandchildren, leaving £10,000 to each of ten named grandchildren and step-grandchildren.

Simon’s 21-month-old son Eric is not mentioned as the will was drawn up before he was born. The boy will still inherit £10,000, however, because Mrs Cowell stipulated that money should also be left to ‘any other grandchild living at the date of my death’. She also left £1,000 each to two of her Brighton friends, Tricia Nobes and Maria Dore.
The 56-year-old X-factor tycoon recalled how he had refused to face up to the inevitable when doctors said his mother had only months to live. He said;

‘I wouldn’t listen. I kept saying right to the end that there was hope. And I wasn’t prepared for it. You know, it all happened in my 50s. I have a son and then I lost my mother. It changes you. I’m still going through it.’

Cowell described his mother as the one woman, who could,

‘Reduce me to being a five-year-old all over again. She’d call me up and go nuts at me for swearing on television.’

In her will, Cowell’s mother, who lived in Ovingdean, Brighton, asked to be buried at St Margaret’s Church in nearby Rottingdean with her husband Eric.
