Susan Boyle ‘charging £8k per minute to perform live! ‘

LONDON - Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle is reportedly charging a staggering 8000 pounds per minute to perform live.

The singing sensation, who allegedly used to claim 130 pounds a week in benefits while living as a tenant, purportedly has corporate clients lined up, offering the 48-year-old to pay as much as 100,000 pounds per 12-minute set.

“She’s the biggest star to have come out of Britain’s Got Talent, so her price to sing reflects that,” the News of the World quoted a source close to Susan as saying.

“These fees mean it will take ten dates for her to make a million pounds, which is unprecedented for a reality show winner,” the source added.

The Scottish songbird may add the whopping amount to her 8 million pound wealth, which she is apparently set to amass after inking a recording contract with BGT chief and judge Simon Cowell.

Susan was previously suggested to keep claiming her 64.30 pounds per income support, council tax worth 15.34 pound and 50-pound housing benefit, according to sources.

But that is about to be overturned.

A show insider said: “We had to follow the same procedures as with every other contestant so it didn’t look like we were trying to tip the vote in her favour.

“But now we can start making her some serious money. We have to do it soon to capitalise on the huge interest in her, especially in America.” (ANI)
