Welsh singing star Charlotte Church has be revealed as Britain's youngest millionaire in a Sunday
newspaper's list of the young rich.
The 14-year-old Cardiff schoolgirl is worth £10m and ranks equal 42nd in the Sunday
Times list of 60 millionaires in Britain aged 30 or under.
In January a magazine revealed she had soared into the top 10 of rock and pop's biggest UK
earners, according to new figures.
Estimates show the
Welsh prodigy made about £6m before tax in 1999, joining Robbie Williams and
Norman Cook - alias DJ Fatboy Slim - as new entries in a list published by Heat
magazine.
Her success began when Charlotte was signed by Sony Music in 1997 after she was
spotted on a TV talent show.
Her album Voice Of An Angel and her self-titled
follow-up have sold millions of copies worldwide
and made her the youngest ever solo artist to enter the American top 30 album chart.
She has sung Hark The Herald Angels Sing for the Pope at the Vatican and took the same
stage as former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell to sing for Prince Charles's 50th birthday.
She also sang Amazing Grace for Bill and Hillary Clinton at the Ford's Theatre in Washington
and joined them for tea at the White House afterwards.
The young soprano is due to perform at the launch of the first Classical Brits awards at the
Royal Albert Hall on 6 May.
