Susan Boyle became TV’s biggest  success stories after she belted out I Dreamed A Dream on Britain’s Got Talent.

In  12 years since Susan left Simon Cowell’s jaw on the floor during  audition, she has performed around the world and collected  fortune, but still she has kept her feet firmly on the ground and done things on her own terms.

Her music career has reportedly earned around £2million.

She revealed that she lives off a rather more humble £300-£500 weekly allowance, calling sum “plenty”.

It was revealed last year how her four companies made £2million in 2019.

Her wealth has allowed her to live a comfortable life, it was also to the heart of a feud with her brother.

Susan and her brother Gerry did not speak for  two-and-a-half years after rumor’s circulated that he’d threatened to take his own life if she didn’t give him £50,000.

Meanwhile, they’ve been on good terms from 2016 when Gerry came to her aide after she had a row with Heathrow Airport staff.

Susan’s first relationship was with an American doctor she met in a hotel while touring, but things didn’t develop beyond dating.

“We went for lunch but I didn’t tell anyone.

“But if I had a man friend it would be purely platonic – I’ve been on my own too long now to get married.”

In interview Susan, who has never had a significant romantic relationship, added: “It’s good manners to wait to be asked, so I’ll just have to continue to keep waiting.

“If I get fan letters from men, I’m flattered that they like me.”

She told : “It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie.”

She added: “It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say.”
