London, November 7 (ANI): Those looking to get into the mind of Simon Cowell had their wish granted after the music mogul decided to put his grey matter under the hammer for charity.

The X Factor judge, along with other big names including Topshop tycoon Sir Philip Green and author Sir Salman Rushdie, put their names on the auction list to help the Krug Mind Share charity event.

The mind of the 50-year-old attracted the top bid of 19,000 pounds at Christie's, reports the Daily Express.

Meanwhile, Sir Philip shelled out 11,000 pounds for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's grey cells.

The stars' minds raised a staggering 78,500 pounds in total. (ANI)
