What Susan Boyle's Home Really Looks Like

One might think that Susan Boyle's net worth would allow her to buy a lavish home and establish an opulent lifestyle. With this in mind, to hear that she continues to live in her childhood home may come as a surprise. And it's true that her success has given her the means to establish the lifestyle of a typical celebrity, but that's not how SuBo rolls. She did purchase a luxurious villa on the other side of town in West Lothian that she calls "The Posh House."

According to The Daily Mail, Boyle purchased "The Posh House" for £300,000. However, she told The Guardian that she never moved into that house. Although it is just a mile away from her old home, SuBo realized that the new home wasn't the place where she wanted to live and made the decision to stay in the semi-detached £65,000 council home where she grew up. 

Home for Boyle represents a place of history and memories. On living in her childhood home, Boyle said, "I've spent most of my life in this house and I won't move now, because I feel it's part of my history" (via Express). After making the decision to maintain a connection with her past, she gave the keys to the Posh House to her niece, who now lives in the home.
