Joss
Stone: "I'm Not a Rich Girl" 3/24/08
British singer Joss Stone has laughed off reports of her huge wealth,
insisting her life as a pop star is less profitable than people think.
The You Had Me hit maker, 20, has released three albums since rising to
fame in 2003, but she admits her bank account is not as big as it is made
out to be.
She says, "I see all these fancy sums attached to me and although
I have more money than most people my age, it's nothing like that. My
record company gives me a lot to make a new album but I have to spend it
on musicians and studios.
"The only time I make good money is when I'm on tour - but even
then I'm having to pay my band and the road crew."
