Glamorous partygoers – including the likes of Cheryl Cole, Kevin Spacey and Kylie Minogue – dined on fish fingers, shepherd’s pie, and vintage Louis Roederer champagne at the 1920’s themed 50th birthday party for Simon Cowell. The Times Online puts the price tag for the event between £500,000 and £1 million.
Waiters circled the event donned in Cowell masks, and posters of the birthday boy lined the walls of a £70,000 marquee in Wrotham Park, a majestic home in Hertfordshire. Even the ladies’ washroom was papered with the pop mogul’s likeness.
No lilies were allowed at the event, as Cowell can’t tolerate their scent, and a tent was set up especially for smoking, to support Cowell’s love of cigarettes.
Leona Lewis, Westlife and Kate Moss performed for those lucky enough to make the guest list, which included some of Britain’s most influential men, dubbed the new Billionaire Boys’ Club – the gang of highly successful business honchos that Cowell has gathered around him.
Nick Candy, property tycoon of Candy & Candy and junior member of the Cowell’s club, told the Times: “We like the same things and hanging out together. We’re interested in design, cars, social life, seeing the best, doing the best, having a laugh. We’re all very successful, we do our own thing and then we go out on a night out. We’re as likely to meet in Vegas or LA or New York as we are in a London restaurant.”
