Simon Cowell might be insane

Apparently by the time you’re rich enough to buy a 30 million dollar house, you’ve long since run out of stupid things to spend money on, so outfitting an “army or gardeners” with measuring tapes and levels so that you’re hedges are always some arbitrary perfect height must seem like as good an idea as any. The Daily Mail says…

And it’s not the first time high-priced landscape gardeners wielding spirit levels and measuring sticks have been called in to check the dimensions of the star’s hedges.
“The gardeners were inspecting each section of the hedge to make sure they all aligned,” said one witness.
“They walk around with clipboards squinting at the bushes to make sure everything is exactly level and that they’re trimmed to perfection.”
Workers have also been instructed to remove every fallen leaf from the property’s large grounds.

Unfortunately jobs like yard work are now done by slave labor and/or robots, so it’s practically free, meaning Simon still has to skip red diamonds across a lake to entertain himself, or have a contest to see who can throw Jackson Pollack paintings furthest into a river of lava.
