The X Factor tycoon, who 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 – also known by her stage name Julie Brett – left £792,126, producing a net figure of £693,959 after her affairs were settled.
She left £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’.
Music mogul Cowell was close to his mother – who battled cancer in the 1990s – and would often turn to her for advice. She was a familiar face on the set of The X Factor and their bond grew even stronger following the death of Cowell’s father, Eric, at the age of 81 in 1999.
