Amidst speculation that she’s on the verge of a breakdown from all the pressure and has been moved by ITV bosses to a remote location until today’s grand Britain’s Got Talent finale, it has emerged that Susan Boyle will make a fortune in the year to come. Regardless of whether she wins the competition or not, Boyle will pocket an estimated £5 million, sources are telling the British Daily Mail.

According to the publication and its sources, the unlikely star stands to make quite an impressive fortune even in the eventuality that she doesn’t win the popular talent competition. A new album, endorsements and TV deals should net Boyle an estimated £5 in just a year, if she plays her cards right, sources say. Given that Simon Cowell will presumably be handling her career once the show is over, chances are Boyle will actually make all this money.

In doing so, she would also become the most successful Britain’s Got Talent competitor ever, including those who have won the big prize, the same spies reveal for the publication. “If she comes up with an album with the kind of songs that really suit her and that everybody loves she will sell millions. In the next year she could comfortably make £5million. Paul Potts almost did that and Susan Boyle is much much bigger. They love her in America. It is all about Susan Boyle.” an unnamed source is telling the Mail.

As for Britain’s Got Talent and whether Susan Boyle will be able to cope with the pressure and eventually win it, that is still to be determined. Just yesterday, for instance, reports had it that she was feeling the strain of too much attention, and had already had two very public and embarrassing outbursts, which has caused concern among the show’s producers. Consequently, word on the street had it that Boyle had been moved to an isolated location, where she was away from the glaring eye of the media and the annoying questions of journalists.

The Britain’s Got Talent finale will take place tonight, and Susan Boyle is still the favorite to win despite backlash in the media for her recent behavior. ITV estimates over 15 million people will tune in to see who the winner is, a record number of viewers in a very long time.
