A lavish £45 million mansion in London has just been sold by media millionaire Simon Cowell to start a new life in the countryside with his fiancée and son.
In recent years, it is known that Simon Cowell has gradually adjusted to life and work. He handed control of his record label, Syco Music, to Sony.

However, the house was repeatedly broken into by burglars. Recently, a gang of criminals even sold the lock on the front door of Simon's house, making him feel terrible. Having spent £500,000 on home security measures, Simon was shocked to discover they claimed to be able to open his door "in seconds".
