Andrew Silverman’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Andrew Silverman Net Worth: Andrew Silverman is an American businessman, entrepreneur, and real estate developer who has a net worth of $30 million. Andrew Silverman is best (infamously) known in the popular consciousness as the ex-husband of adulteress Lauren Silverman, best known for her affair with reality television celeb and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell. Silverman’s then-wife Lauren and then-friend Simon Cowell first hit the news (in a big way) when it was revealed that Lauren (still married to and living with husband Andrew Silverman) was pregnant with Simon Cowell’s child, a story that caused a big splash among followers of celebrity gossip and backstage entertainment drama. Andrew also has a child with ex-wife Lauren. The two have since divorced, but that hasn’t stopped the gossip engines from continuing to engage, as the drama continues to play out in the media. Of her divorce and (future) relationship with ex-husband Andrew Silverman, Lauren released a statement to the media and to the public that stated the following: “I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible to ensure the well-being of our son. I would hope for some space and privacy in order to work through this.” The affair was rumored to have started when Silverman and Lauren, then his wife of about ten years, were vacationing with Simon Cowell, a family friend they met while on vacation in Barbados. Andrew Silverman’s reticence was the polar opposite of Cowell’s outgoing personality and Ms. Silverman’s approach, who even now continue to provide a nonstop stream of quotes and photo-ops to the press. In February 2014, the same month that his ex-wife gave birth to Cowell’s child, Andrew Silverman secured financing to build what he calls his 222-unit ‘baby’, a luxury rental building in Stamford, Connecticut, partnering with local developer F.D. Rich Company.
