Simon Cowell turns 50 today and is celebrating the only way he knows how—by depositing even more money in the bank.

And who wouldn't want to slap their cheeks in his über-wealthy musk?

The American Idol judge is joining his British X-Factor costars—Cheryl Cole, Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh—in releasing a series of fragrances in time for the holidays. Word is each of them will take home $500,000 plus a percentage of the sales.

Needless to say, Cowell, whose line will include aftershave, isn't keeping his competitive nature to himself.

"Simon says his will be the top seller—he's already winding the other three up," a source tells the Sun.

They said "Simon says," so it musk be true.
