'I'm not rich' Charlotte Church on why £11million is NOT ENOUGH to fund her lifestyle
CHARLOTTE Church has revealed that while she has enough money left to live comfortably, she is by no means well-off and has admitted the need to find new ways to fund her extravagant lifestyle.
Although Church is far from destitute, her net worth is said to have dropped significantly in recent years, going from a wealth of £25million to £11million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
And the mother-of-two, who previously dated Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson, admitted that her financial position has meant she is on the lookout for other projects in a bid to make ends meet.
Speaking to Stylist magazine, she said: "I haven't got a lot of money.
"I've got enough to be comfortable if I was reasonable for the rest of my life, but I'm not reasonable, so I will have to find a way to sustain my lifestyle."
Charlotte, 28, is one of the most successful child stars of all time having performed for the likes of the late Nelson Mandela, the Queen and Pope John Paul II.
She sold more than ten million records since her album Voice Of An Angel was released when she was just 12, and her pop-influenced album Tissues and Issues went platinum.
She has also tried her hand at presenting, while also having released two autobiographies.
However, the star admitted that she is ready to take her career in a new direction.
"It only recently dawned on me that I don't have to be singer," she added in the interview.
"What a novel idea! I guess I'm lucky to have a bit of wealth behind me that I can go to university.
"I never want to stop educating myself. And I want my kids to see my career and see that it's possible to dart from one end of the spectrum to another."
Charlotte continued: "I feel like I know my own power and strengths now - if I set my mind to something, I absolutely will achieve that.
"I work with these amazing people, I'm in control of my own creativity and work life and I can provide for my children. Fingers crossed it carries on. It's a privileged position to be in."
Meanwhile, Charlotte was spotted in Cardiff earlier today as she filmed the video for her new single Little Movements.
