Simon Cowell son Eric set to surpass father’s legacy: ‘A true power player!’

Simon Cowell’s son Eric has the potential to surpass his father’s legacy, an expert claimed, as the music mogul is busy training him to take his place in the industry.

Speaking of Simon’s plans for his son, brand and culture expert Nick Ede told The Sun that Eric can become an “even bigger mogul than his dad.”

"Simon Cowell, unlike other celebrities, has not hidden his son from the limelight. Rather, he has put him front and centre of conversations and happy family images,” he said.

"He has also celebrated his son for helping him face his demons and also change his habits in health and other areas. Eric is only nine but this mini-me is already making waves,” the expert added.

Weighing on to Eric's plans to appear as a contestant in BGT, Nick said, "Simon has said that he's ultra-talented already so if he gets the golden buzzer on his own merits and not his father's then we know he's onto a winner.

"Either way Eric Cowell is going to be a superstar in the making and all eyes will be on him as he gets older,” he noted.

The expert also mentioned the £600million that Eric is set to inherit from his dad, noting that it would him a “multi-millionaire” with his father's slew of business endeavours.

"He will probably inherit all the intellectual property that Simon has created, making him a power player in the entertainment world not only in the UK but globally,” he shared.
