    How can one survive with only £3m in the bank?

    Charlotte Church: 'HMRC keep asking about my missing millions' - Telegraph

    The 28-year-old mother of two reportedly amassed £25m by the age of 18, but now has just £3m in the bank.

    I will have to work for the rest of my life.

    ================================
    Can you imagine - having to work!

    Maybe she should go to the DSS?

    "Reportedly amassed x" = "Never had anything like as much as x, but that's the figure some tabloid made up years ago and we just keep trotting it out as if it were fact".

      As contractors we have all felt the same with permies asking us why we don't have a porsche etc.

        Exactly, why would we lower ourselves to the great unwashed transport of a Porsche ????

              Thats not relevant.

              As she is struggling for cash why not go on the game?

                  You're going to struggle to pay back HMRC at the fiver a go you charge.

                    Fear not. She can quite happily spend £300k per year for the next 6 odd years.

                    She'll still have £1,000,000 left after that and only be 35.

                    Then she can do a bit of media-work, maybe ghost-write a book on how to scrap by on a few hundred grand a year? Or appear on "I am a Celeb" or "Strictly"

                    There's nothing like a bit of pretend-bankruptcy to boost a minor celebs earning potential.
