'American Idol' Creator Simon Fuller Lists Beverly Hills Home for $19 Million
Simon Fuller has produced popular TV shows both in the U.S. and U.K., and it's not surprising that his net worth is pegged at nearly $500 million, according to The Sunday Times via Forbes.
With this massive fortune, the "American Idol" creator invested in several properties including a Westside home he bought in 2014 and a luxurious property located in the posh community of Beverly Hills which is now listed on the market for $19 million, reports the Los Angeles Times.

The 54-year-old TV show producer bought the estate 10 years ago for only $8.5M, notes LA Times, citing public records. Thus, as soon Fuller seals the closing deal, he would be getting a cool profit of more than $10 million.
Fuller's residence seems to have a fusion of modern and traditional design, observes LA Times. The home boasts a grand staircase, French doors, spacious terraces and stunning views of carefully-manicured grounds covering more than 30,000 square feet.
The Beverly Hills home also has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a screening room, an open-plan kitchen with bar seating, a gym, a sauna, an office, and a spacious wine cellar, adds the news site.
Outside, there's a swimming pool that complements the landscaped grounds. This could just be the favorite summer home feature of the next owners.
Aside from the main residence, the estate also has a guesthouse built for close family visitors, notes Trulia.
Interested parties may contact listing agents Trista Rullan and Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland, informs LA Times.
It's still unknown where the "So You Think You Can Dance?" producer will live next, writes Trulia, but the site assumes that the famed creator may be staying in England for a while. Based on a report by the New York Post, Fuller has already sold two New York apartment units in 2014 for a combined value of $38 million.
Aside from being a show creator, the entertainment mogul also managed the Spice Girls, who were a popular English female singing group, and individual artists, such as Annie Lennox and Carrie Underwood. Before "American Idol" was created, Fuller already produced "Pop Idol" in United Kingdom in 2001, which made its way to more than a hundred countries as an international enterprise showcasing the same format, notes LA Times.
Just last year, Fuller teamed up with David Beckham to establish the former soccer player's line of products, as reported by Bloomberg.
