Rita Ora Says It’s Not All About The Money

Who says it’s all about the big bucks? The latest British chart-topper Rita Ora says she is “not bothered” about making money.

The ‘RIP’ singer has enjoyed three number one singles in a row in the UK and performs regularly, but still has no idea how much wealth her success has brought her.

When asked if she has made lots of money from her fame, she replied: "I'm not bothered about that now, I leave it to my management to deal with. I'm just trying to keep getting the number ones and enjoy myself at the same time."

The star on stage at this year's Barclaycard Wireless festival in the UK.

When the royalty money does come in, the 21-year old hopes to buy a house for herself, and wants to make sure it's close enough to her parents' home, but far enough away for her to keep her independence.

She told BANG Showbiz; "The first thing I'd want to buy would be to buy my own house, I'd love to keep living in London, I used to live in Portobello with my parents, so maybe Notting Hill Gate, to go up the hill a bit.

"I'd like to live on my own."

Always guaranteed a good show with Rita; she entertains the crowds at the recent V Festival.

Rita was born in Kosovo, but moved to the UK with her family when she was one. She is signed to the US label Roc Nation and splits her time between the US and England but says she has no plans to move countries.

"I have a flat in London that I live at when I'm there, but I'm travelling around all the time. I love Los Angeles and New York, but I wouldn't want to move there now, maybe in a few years, but right now I love London, I'm very happy here.

"I also loved Toronto and Miami. We went to the dance music conference there, it was mad."

Sounds like Rita is certainly getting used to the pop-star lifestyle…
