Simon Cowell spent his 2010 summer vacations relaxing in the super-yacht Slipstream, now known as Silverdream.  Simon chartered the yacht for an estimated $900,000, which also provided him with a private chef. Manufactured by one of the prestigious luxury yachtmakers, CMN Shipyards,  it was launched in 2009 and features awad winning Andrew Winch designs. 

Features: Largest of all the CMN’s yachts, Slipstream's  sun deck has got a completely new look with spa, sun pads, bar with barbecue and alfresco dining area all placed conveniently making it great for partying and dining. With over 500 square meter of living room and 200 meters of exterior deck area, the yacht has plenty of space to lounge around. Furthermore, the yacht comes equipped with a roof-thumping hi-fi sound and video system that also has video on demand as well as a satellite communications center. Other than this, the 196 ft also has an observation lounge with panoramic views, gym and a sky lounge with a retractable roof. 

Accomodations: Slipstream has room for accommodating up to 14 guests in it’s one duplex owner’s suite, one VIP cabin and five guests cabins.

Specs: At a cruising speed of 15 knots and maximum speed of 17 knots, the yacht is certainly not the fastest out there. But with a range of 5,000 nautical miles, the yacht still is your best bet for long and quite gratifying rides over the seas. 

Charter Rates: However, all is not lost for those who do not have a cash cow (read American Idol) like Cowell at their disposal.  The 60 metre (196 ft) motor yacht can also be had for a sum of $450,000 for a week minus some of the luxuries. 

Music mogul Simon Cowell admittedly has a strange hobby; spying on his neighbors.He developed this peculiar habit after watching the 1979 movie 10, in which actor Dudley Moore’s character snoops on a nearby resident. Cowell has even installed a telescope in the kitchen of his spanking new Los Angeles mansion. Once Simon says that 'It's great fun. I just like to keep an eye on what is happening'

Simon has proudly admitted to his love of eating out and considers the huge kitchens in his luxurious mansions as 'irrelevant'.  As a result he takes to the world’s finest restaurants while globetrotting for business. His favorite haunts in London are the Ivy, Mr Chow, the Wolseley, Scalini's in Knightsbridge and Cipriani.  When working out from his secondary residence at LA, he prefers to eat at his favorite local restaurant, Ago, which is co-owned by Robert Din Niro and Harvey Weinstein. 

Jet skiing is one of the favorite pastime of Simon Cowell. Whenever he is in the Caribbean for holidays he lets his hair down for some jet setting on water. Dressed in a pair of loose-fitting cotton shorts, sunglasses and a life jacket, Simon is having a merry time Jet skiing and catching sun at the beaches of Barbados.

The star owns a black shiny  Bentley convertible

The X Factor judge owns probably the fastest set of wheels on offer in the form of Bugatti Veyron which surely turns heads if not for its breathtaking speed then its awe-inspiring beauty

Few can match the luxury and opulence which a Phantom offers. In terms of comfort it's second to none. Rightly, the music magnate owns the godfather of all cars.  

Lamborghini is one car that every super rich has hence its Simon is one of the proud owner of  Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Decked in yellow color and has  5-litre V10 engine, enabling a top speed of 193mph.  The star bought this car for £133k. 

The television executive owns a £175,000 Ferrari 458 Italia, which is eminent for being one of the finest super-cars from Ferrari. The exclusive car became Simon’s adorable asset after he joined a three-year waiting list to get it. Equipped with a 4.5 liter V8 engine delivering high power ranges, the car features a top speed of 202mph and easily attains 0-62mph in mere 3.4 seconds. Italia’s black shiny exteriors make a commanding on road presence while its spacious interiors offer ample space to enjoy the comfy ride

The eminent TV personality owns a three-wheeled Carver, which is rather a strange addition to the multi-millionaire’s luxurious car collection comprising Bugatti Veyron and Rolls Royces. Normally spotted driving luxurious cars featuring lavish interiors and shiny exteriors, Simon Cowell’s choice for going for a Silver color Carver certainly seems strange. Petite in size and odd in shape, the bizarre-looking Carver looks extremely futuristic in terms of style. The tilting three-wheeled vehicle makes use of an exclusive “Automatic balancing technology” to balance the passenger section under all sorts of conditions. 

The big-time host of X Factor definitely gets a kick out of driving unusual cars one must say! An interesting member of his fleet of cars is the smallest car in the world - the Brabus Smart. Colored black on black and loaded with alcantara interiors that were personally designed by the judge, the car is the first among a limited edition of 120 vehicles. With acceleration which takes it from 0-100 km/h under 9 seconds and a top speed which would shame a Honda Civic, the Smart RS-L arrives with a high quality leather interior, tinted windows, ten LED puddle-lights, a Project-Kahn leather keychain and a carbon-fiber umbrella.

With a fleet of cars at his disposal, Simon Cowell, judge at X Factor, seemed to make merry in his unique V8 vehicle - the 1932 Ford Hot Rod! Also called the Mode B, the car which would often be defined as a jalopy is surprisingly bright and sprightly in black and red. An extreme rarity except in auto shows, the Hot Rod was once a common sight on the roads and one of the most popular vehicles of its era. It is also one of the most sought-after collectibles of the automobile world today.

The car was specially built and customized by Galpin Auto Sports (G.A.S) based in Beverly Hills. And it has a special place in Cowell's heart as he chose to ride in it ahead of the Rolls Royce Phantom, Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Azure convertible which he also owns. In fact, he spoke of this love when he tweeted about it exclaiming that it 'glowed in the dark'! The vintage classic with its huge front grille, insect-eye like headlamps and unique body shape is sure to gather rolling eyeballs as it passes through the streets of Beverly Hills where Simon takes it out for a drive.

He came here thrice in 2011 and stayed at the famous Sandy Lane resort.  Whenever he is here for holidays he lets his hair down for some jet setting on water.
