He owns around £450 million and is quite particular about the brands he wears.

But here’s a surprise fact: Simon Cowell’s favourite pair of orange-tinted sunglasses is from an unknown manufacturer. He acquired them from Amazon for £19.98.

The well-known talent show judge and music industry mogul has suffered from migraines for many years.

To combat the effects of harsh studio lighting, he decided to try a pair of affordable ‘blue light filter’ spectacles last summer. Impressed with the results, he now wears these spectacles all the time.

Interestingly, a specialist did not encourage using tinted glasses for eye health because there is no scientific evidence for their efficacy. Nonetheless, they have tremendous popularity.

During the latest filming of Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London, Cowell missed the last two auditions of the day owing to an unexpected migraine.

According to a friend, reports suggested that it was a “mystery illness,” but it was actually a migraine. He had healed by the next day and was back at work.

The friend went on to say that he wears the spectacles to help him avoid headaches, which he typically succeeds at. He stated: “He swears by them and says that they make a huge difference.”
