Twenty-seven years after finding fame, former child singing prodigy Charlotte Church has revealed that her multi-million-dollar wealth has disappeared.
The classical and pop singer had amassed a fortune of more than $47 million by the age of 11, when she performed for Pope John Paul II and Queen Elizabeth II.

The 38-year-old Welsh singer — who was not allowed to access her fortune until she was 18 — has admitted to burning through her fortune.
She says she is “not a millionaire anymore”, and has had to sell her $2.8 million mansion and move to a semi-detached house.
She purchased the huge home, called The Spinney, in 2013, and spent years renovating it.
“I am not a millionaire anymore,” she told Closer Magazine.
“What mattered to me when I bought The Spinney is it was absolutely beautiful and close to the forest and it was a big mansion house.”
Church also addressed not enjoying the music industry as a child, when her adopted father encouraged her to remain in the spotlight.
“When I made money, I did say to my dad when I was 14, ‘I’m not sure about this showbiz stuff. I’m not really having a good time,’ and he was like, ‘Just stick at it as we don’t get these opportunities’,” she said.
“I did get to a stage in my teenage years, about 16 or 17, when I was like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this s*** anymore’.”
Church also revealed she has returned to music after decades away from the craft, saying that singing is a “deep part” of her “purpose”.
“I feel deep at the core of my purpose, it is about healing and it always has been (about) singing classical songs,” she said.
“People felt soothed by that. It is a deep part of my purpose.”
The angelic-voiced Church rose to fame in 1997 when she performed Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu on British Breakfast TV program This Morning.
Church went on to sell more than 10 million records and performed for the likes of Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Pope John Paul II and former President Bill Clinton.
