Scottish singer Susan Boyle took the world by storm when she first appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 – and she has since enjoyed global success.

Susan Boyle first captured our hearts in 2009 when she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, but she’s kept a low profile since then. The beautiful Scot, from West Lothian, left both the judges and the audience at home completely spellbound with her mesmerising performance of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables.
After the clip went viral, catapulting her to international fame, Susan was the favourite to win the show and secure a place in the Royal Variety Performance, but she eventually came second to dance group Diversity.
Despite her global success since her debut on the talent show, the now 63-year-old remains humble and down-to-earth about her achievements.
She’s one of the biggest success stories from the show, so here’s a glimpse into her life now.
Stunning earnings Since her rise to fame, Susan’s career is said to have earned her an impressive £22 million. She has released a number of albums, all of which have likely contributed to her considerable fortune.
Her discography includes: I Dreamed a Dream (2009), The Gift (2010), Someone to Watch Over Me (2011), Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage (2012), Home for Christmas (2013), Hope (2014), A Wonderful World (2016) and her most recent album Ten (2019).
Despite her large bank balance, Susan Boyle is known for her frugal lifestyle, previously telling Piers Morgan that she is very careful with her spending. The music star may have millions of pounds to her name, but she lives on a modest weekly budget of £300-500, which she insists is “plenty”, reports the Mirror.
Her business ventures, which include Duil Limited, Speur Business, Speur Ltd and Speur Films, have brought in an impressive £2 million.
Susan’s down-to-earth nature is evident in her decision to stay in her childhood home in Blackburn, West Lothian. She bought her old house for £111,000, a fraction of her fortune.
Despite having invested £300,000 in a five-bedroom house, she felt unsettled and moved back to her beloved family home, underlining her commitment to her roots.
On the health front, Susan opened up about losing two stone after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in a 2016 interview. She was candid about the dietary changes she had to make, saying: “I had to stop eating sweets and cakes. It was my obsession.”
