SuBo: The birthday millionaire

All has been fairly quiet on the Susan Boyle front recently, but that doesn't mean she's been any less successful in recent months.

SuBo turns 49 today and is due to receive an extremely huge pressie - a cheque for £4 million!

The money comes from Simon Cowell's record label - SyCo, and is the first installment of the royalties for her debut album 'I Dreamed A Dream'.

The album became the fastest selling in history, shifting over 3 million copies in its first four weeks of release.

Wow what a year it's been for Susan, let's hope she has some great financial advisers on her books and the money is well-invested.
