He's considered as one of the hardest working men in the music industry.
So no one got surprised when Simon Cowell had put on a collection of magnificent cars.
And it seems that TV billionaire picked out one of his very best and looked flash as he drove his $1 million Bugatti Veyron car to The X Factor studios in Hollywood on Monday.
The Fox talent show judge wore his trademark Aviator sunglasses when he sat behind the steering wheel of the supercar.
The silver alloy wheels sparkled in the sunshine as he arrived at the CBS studios, and the jet black finish of the body was so sparkling clean that it reflected objects nearby.
Though the car has a top speed of almost 268 miles per hour, Simon hasn’t tested out the car’s maximum speed because the traffic in Los Angeles was slow moving.
And pretty soon Simon may opt to buy another new, expensive car that he could carry to X Factor UK. He is set to make a comeback to the UK franchise next year in an effort to boost the falling ratings of the show.
A source from the Daily Star Sunday said: 'Simon is a worried man. The ratings have not been great, which spells trouble for the future.
'He is starting to accept that he's needed at the helm, it's a real possibility that he'll come back for next year's series - which could also be the last.'
The music mogul can’t believe the outcome of Sunday’s show when 16-year-old Ella Henderson was sent home in a sing off competition against James Arthur.
He tweeted: 'Ella! Gone??? Unbelievable.'
And while Simon may be keeping track on the show and its contestants as he enjoys the money he makes from the series, Martin Gore of Depeche Mode had been criticizing the music mogul and his effect on the music industry.
On an interview with Music Week, he said: 'I'm not advocating violence, but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell! His influence in the music industry over the last God knows how many years it's been now... it's just like, so many people think that that's what music is.
'What happened to bands getting together? They are very few and far between now and the ones that do probably can't afford to get into a studio and make a record.'
Bandmate Dave Gahan added: 'It's a pretty horrible business today really; I've got to say. You have to be tough, and you've got to be thick skinned because there are going to be things written about you that you're not going to like. You're going to get scrutinized.'
