SIMON COWELL: NEARLY $16 BILLION FORTUNE WILL BE LARGELY DEDICATED TO ANIMALS…
🕊️ Choosing Compassion Over Inheritance
Simon Cowell has revealed that his estimated $600 million fortune will not simply be passed on to his son. Instead, a large portion of it is intended to help struggling animals and support organizations that protect voiceless creatures.
Cowell has been frank about his belief that he doesn’t believe in passing on a massive fortune without purpose. For him, money is a tool to spread kindness, create change, and leave the world in a better state than when he arrived.

This doesn’t stem from a lack of love for his family. This is a story about values. He wants his legacy to represent compassion, responsibility, and doing good – not just privilege or extravagance.
For animal lovers, this choice is deeply moving. When a person with global influence chooses to stand with all creatures instead of excess, it sends a clear message: true wealth is measured by the lives you help, not the money you leave behind.
🌿 Vegan for Health
Simon Cowell has publicly shared that he switched to a vegan diet in 2019 after his doctor advised him to change his lifestyle for health reasons. Since then, he has completely eliminated meat and animal products, not only to improve his health but also due to a growing awareness of compassion.
“Within 24 hours I changed my diet and I haven’t looked back since. You feel better, and you look better too.” Cowell said this diet helped him feel lighter, healthier, and more alert both physically and mentally.
🐕 Extremely fond of dogs

He once shared:
“I have always loved dogs but had no idea how much happiness they would bring to my life. … even the thought of any dog ​​being mistreated sickens me.”
“I have always loved dogs, but I didn’t realize how much joy they would bring to my life. … even the thought of a dog being mistreated makes me sick.”
🐶 How many dogs does he own?
Currently, Simon Cowell is a true “dog dad” as he has adopted several dogs into his family:

• Squiddly and Diddly (Yorkshire Terriers)
• Freddie: his mother’s dog before she passed away (also a Yorkshire Terrier)
• Daisy (adopted from a rescue shelter in Barbados)
• Pebbles (German Shepherd)
• And recently he welcomed a new Chihuahua, bringing the total number of dogs to about 5.
  Simon Cowell has participated in many charitable campaigns related to animals, especially helping to rescue and protect dogs:
  🐾 Donating to close down a dog meat farm in South Korea
  Simon Cowell donated approximately £25,000 (~$32,600 USD) to the animal welfare organization Humane Society International (HSI) to help end the operation of a dog meat farm in Namyangju, South Korea. This money supported a campaign to rescue over 200 dogs and puppies from being killed for food, bringing them to safety to recover and find new homes in countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, and the Netherlands.

  🐶 Supporting the #EndDogMeat campaign
  He didn’t just contribute money — Simon also publicly supported HSI’s #EndDogMeat campaign against the breeding and killing of dogs for meat in Asia. On television, he even called this activity “sickeningly cruel,” comparing eating dog meat to “eating your friend,” to raise public awareness about animal rights.
  📈 Contributing to the closure of many other farms
  Thanks to the contributions and support of many donors (including Simon), HSI has closed down many dog ​​meat farms in South Korea, saving nearly 1,400 dogs across the region. They also support farmers in switching to other animal-friendly professions.
  ✨ Simon’s choice to be vegan, to do charity work for animals, or in his decision to leave his inheritance to animals, all demonstrate consistency in his spirit of compassion and empathy, becoming actions, becoming a long-term commitment. For Simon Cowell, the value of a person lies not in the amount of money left behind, but in the lives saved thanks to his decisions.
  Thank you, Simon 🙏🏼

He chose compassion over inheritance, and that decision speaks louder than money ever could.

Simon Cowell has revealed that his estimated $600 million fortune will not simply be handed down to his son. Instead, much of it is intended to help animals in need and support causes that protect those without a voice.

Cowell has openly shared that he does not believe in passing down massive wealth without purpose. For him, money is a tool to create kindness, change lives, and leave the world better than he found it.

This is not about a lack of love for family. It is about values. He wants his legacy to stand for compassion, responsibility, and doing good, not just privilege or luxury.

For animal lovers, this choice feels powerful. When someone with global influence chooses animals over excess, it sends a message that real wealth is measured by the lives you help, not the money you leave behind.
