Charlotte Church and her £30 million trust fund

Charlotte Church , the bright-eyed Welsh soprano who has sung for two U.S. presidents, the pope and Queen Elizabeth II , turned 18 on Saturday, meaning she now has control of her $30 million trust fund.

With more than 10 million records sold around the world, the singer's financial future seems secure. But Church said she planned to leave most of the trust-fund money where it was, telling Britain's GMTV television: "I just don't want it. I don't need a lot of money now."

Church's last album of new material appeared in 2001 and there is no set date for a new one. She said she wants to leave behind the light classical musical that endeared her to millions and forge a pop career.

Her next album will include "some rocky stuff, some soulful songs and some electric â€" it's really mixed," Church told Britain's Daily Mirror in an interview published Friday.
