It takes a lot of guts and courage to go on the stage, in front of a crowd of thousands, on a show watched by millions, and be judged for an act or a talent especially when you are almost fifty and have never done something like this before. This is exactly what Susan Boyle did when she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent.
Today we will look at the life, career, and net worth of Susan Boyle, who came out of nowhere and mesmerized millions by her melodious voice. Who had a very quirky demeanor and humble beginnings and yet now is a world-famous star and a multi-millionaire.
Before discussing Susan Boyle Net Worth, let me tell you who Susan Boyle is.
Born on April 1, 1961, Susan Boyle is a 63-year-old musician who hails from the small town of Blackburn, West Lothian in Scotland. Her father Patrick Boyle was a veteran of WW2 and a singer and a miner, while her mother Bridget was a shorthand typist. Susan was the youngest of 9 siblings, 4 brothers and 5 sisters.
At a very early age, she was diagnosed as having been deprived of oxygen during birth and this resulted in her learning disability. As a result of this, she was bullied in school and left it with few qualifications. However, later in 2012, it was diagnosed that she had autism and above average IQ.
She is a devout Catholic and teetotaler and has never married and until her parents were alive, she took care of them. After their deaths, she lived what she describes as a mundane life, that is of course until her singing career took off.
If you had seen Susan Boyle back when she was auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent, you would have never believed that one day Susan Boyle net worth would be $40 million dollars. Yes, you heard that right, she now has a net worth that most people can dream of.
Most of Susan Boyle’s net worth comes from the sale of her music, as she has sold over 25 million records so far. She has also toured extensively, selling out venues filled with thousands of fans and another major source of her income is her merchandise sale, which she does from her own website.
She auditioned for the 3rd season of Britain’s Got Talent on the 11th of April, 2009. Her looks and quirky demeanor led the audience and judges to believe that she was just another eccentric contestant, trying her luck in the show, and was the target of quite a few laughs before her act.
But all that changed when she started singing. She sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables and put the audience in a trance and after her performance, everyone including the judges had to admit how rude and wrong they were. A clear contender for the first spot in that season, she sadly however lost the first position to the dance troupe called Diversity.
Even though she didn't win the competition her talent was widely recognized and she gained a lot of fame from her appearance on the show. Just to give you an idea of how well she did in the music industry, her first album, I Dreamed a Dream (2009), broke records as the UK's best-selling debut album of all time and topped the charts in over 20 countries.
Her album sold more than 3 million copies in the US coming in second place, only losing to Taylor Swift. Since then, she has released several successful albums after her debut, including The Gift (2010), Someone to Watch Over Me (2011), Standing Ovation (2012), and A Wonderful World (2016).
Susan Boyle has also extensively toured internationally, bringing her performances to audiences across the globe and her overall album count sold is more than 20 million. She even returned to Britain’s Got Talent in 2019 for the Champions edition, reaffirming her place in the hearts of fans worldwide.
Despite her many ailments and the media constantly writing about her mental health issues, particularly right after Britain’s Got Talent. She has done exceptionally well in her career and is still going strong. So much so that her English-language cover of the Japanese folk song "Wings to Fly" was performed as the doves were released during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020
She has done a lot of charity work and supports different causes and is particularly known for supporting local charities in her hometown of Blackburn, West Lothian. She has performed at charity events, such as the "Children in Need" and "Sport Relief" telethons.
She is also an advocate for individuals with disabilities, has worked with organizations like the Scottish Disability Forum, and has supported cancer research and awareness initiatives, including the "Race for Life" event.
