Susan Boyle and Anne Hegerty Both Live in Humble Homes Rather than Mansions

In the News

I was reading an article about Susan Boyle and was surprised to read she still lives in the same council house she lived in before she found fame , despite earning millions from her career after Britain's Got Talent

I know she is a bit eccentric so thought this could be part of the reason

But i then read another article below this about The Chase's Anne Hegerty and how she is still living in a housing association flat despite earning millions

She suffers from autism so maybe the need to stay in smaller accommodation could be related to this

My opinion is that as long as they are happy that is the main thing

Some people don’t need to flaunt their wealth. They obviously feel safe and secure in their homes but they are stopping others who can’t afford to buy their homes.

Pjran I think Susan Boyle has bought her council house P and Anne Hegerty owns part of the home and pays rent for the other percentage

Just cos someone has money doesn't mean they need or want to flaunt it. There's loads who do. Good for these 2 who want to keep to roots.

BTW you don't suffer from autism. You are autistic as you can't cure autism.

Jerseydrew I agree J , good on them for not succumbing to their wealth

Thanks for the heads up about autism, some people with autism can be very talented so suffer is not the correct word as you say

telmel - Both of these women are very, very selfish to still be occupying cheap housing which they both secured when they had little money or lived in unsuitable lodgings. Autism has nothing to do with it.

jam45 and some might say it is selfish for a single woman to live in a huge house alone that a bigger family could benefit from. I live alone and feel safe because my house is secure, smallish and probably not worth burgling. I would feel like a target if I lived alone in a posh house as criminals would assume I have valuables. As it is I do not own or want to own jewellery, expensive items, designer clothes etc and even if I were rich I would probably be giving it away.

Thats true M, some people are more secure in a small home, and both have their personal reasons for staying where they probably more secure with family and friends
