Leona Lewis - Not so rich!!

You would think that after topping the charts in both the UK and America that Leona Lewis would be rolling in it.

Dont get me wrong she probably does have a small fortune, but not enough to be able to buy a house in her home town of Hackney, East London.

Leona and her partner Lou Al-Charma tried to purchase a £500,000 house but once the sellers found out who she was, they upped the price to £100,000, at this point the singer had to back out.

Leona is the first women to reach number one in the US charts for 21 years, the last lady was Kim Wilde with “you keep me hanging on”.

Well done Leona on your global success!!!!
