Susan Boyle is now world $17.2 million having topped the album charts on both side of the Atlantic with “The Gift”. She has now sold 10 million CDs.
She is also racking in the cash due to her autobiography and T.V. appearance including “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and “The View”.
Cliff Dane from The Sunday Times Rich List said “Unlike a lot of artists, who write songs and have heavy touring commitments, most of Susan Boyle's income has come from old-fashioned record sales…And it's mostly CDs as opposed to downloads, due to the nature of her fan base.
"I estimate she is currently worth £11million, based on royalties and advances accumulated to date, fees from other sources less tax, and including something for the present value of future royalty streams from her two albums."
Boyle hasn’t splashed much cash since she became famous just two years ago having starred on “Britain’s Got Talent”. She bought her mother’s late council house in Scotland and bought herself a detached property close by.

How about a bit of roofpreading on this story. Her "late" mother's house! Thanks.

divadqwn - so what do "looks" have to do with inner beauty and talent? You sound like a "mean-spirited" bully to be so critical about Susan's looks. Many people are able to make contributions to the world without being drop-dead gorgeous. I suppose you're so very good looking yourself that you feel the need to make ugly remarks about others. Grow up.

Good for you, Susan. You deserve it!

Any good news about Susan Boyle is good news for me too. I couldn't be happier for her if all her success and good fortune were actually happening for me, myself. There is something about this lady that seems to make a lot of people feel that way. A sweet, very loveable down to earth honesty and lots more... and, in total: There's THAT VOICE for us to love.

You go girl! Susan deserves every good thing that comes her way. She is a beautiful and talented lady who makes us (her fans) so very happy. May she sing for the next 50 years!

@divadqwn, if money could 'fix' your personality, I'd spring for it.
divadqwn | Dec 07, 2010, 09:35 AM EST
she has enough money to fix her teeth and face

I think Susan Boyle is gracious, funny, and incredibly talented, and am thrilled that she no longer has money worries. Unlike most celebrities, she doesn't feel the need to live a pretentious and lavish lifestyle. She has earned every dime (or pence if you will) and she has only begun. I expect to be enjoying her glorious voice for years to come.

Susan deserves and has earned her success - her fans are ecstatic for her. She is a lovely and talented Lady who still remains very down-to-earth despite her wealth. The fans who have met her personally are enchanted. She will once again be singing for the Royals next week.
