Welsh singer-songwriter Charlotte Church attained fame and fortune at a strikingly young age, but decades later, she’s no longer a millionaire.
She documented her quest to renovate her rural mansion, The Spinney, in the TV show Dream Build. However, last year, after making the decision to downsize and move on from The Spinney, she revealed she was no longer a millionaire.
That’s despite selling her home for the guide price of £2 million. So, what happened?

Charlotte’s ‘dark, twisted fairy tale’ and deciding to sell country mansion
Charlotte Church was worth £25 million in 2003 – when she was just 17 years old.
But no longer. She told BBC One Wales in 2014 that she’ll have to work for the rest of her life, not because she wants to, but because she has to.
By 2013, she had reportedly spent £17 million of her massive fortune, leaving her with just £8 million remaining. But that’s just the half of it.
Around 2010, she came across a house called The Spinney, in the Welsh town of Dinas Powys. She snapped it up and lived in it for a dozen years, before putting it back on the market in 2023.
She sold it for £2.1 million, after lowering the asking price from £2.25 million. A year later, and over half of the money she took for it appears to have gone.
