Simon Cowell’s richness is the reason 9 people are safe today … because he used his yacht as a lifeboat to save 9 people on a sinking ship.

Simon was soaking in the sun with his ex-girlfriend on their mega-boat in St. Tropez when someone on board heard a distress call from a nearby, much-lesser vessel.

Simon ordered his captain to find the 35-foot boat that was sinking fast. The captain sprung into action and rescued the 9 souls.

The 35-footer was also saved after the crew on Simon’s yacht plugged the hole.
